Claim 6:
7. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive, from a base station (BS), a channel access request (CARQ) over a downlink channel, wherein the CARQ indicates information related to a set of beam directions to sense for channel access; and
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
generate a channel access response (CARP), wherein the CARP includes a response to information indicated in the CARQ;
include the CARP in uplink control information (UCI); and
determine a set of time or frequency domain resources for transmitting the UCI,

wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the UCI based on the determined set of time or frequency domain resources; and
wherein the response includes a set of measurement results for responding to the set of beam directions to sense for channel access.
