Claim 7:
8. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
sending, to a user equipment (UE), first information in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format, wherein the first information indicates a first temporal value of one of a symbol index, a duration corresponding to a channel access procedure, or a sum of the duration corresponding to the channel access procedure and a timing advance duration for an uplink transmission;
sending, to the UE, second information in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;
wherein a symbol, in which, a starting position of the uplink transmission is located; and where the starting position is located within the symbol are identified by the UE, based on the first temporal value, subcarrier spacing configuration value configured for the uplink transmission, and the second information; and
receiving, by the base station, the uplink transmission based on the channel access procedure, from the starting position.
