Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), via a system information signaling or a dedicated signaling, information indicating a channel access procedure to apply for operation with shared spectrum channel access including period information; and
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine a period for the channel access procedure, a channel occupancy time, and an idle duration based on the period information included in the information indicating the channel access procedure to apply for operation with shared spectrum channel access,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to:
perform a first downlink (DL) transmission on a channel within the channel occupancy time, and
perform a first uplink (UL) reception after the first DL transmission within the channel occupancy time without sensing the channel in case a gap between the first DL transmission and the first UL reception is at most a certain duration, and

wherein there is no transmission by the base station in the idle duration before a start of a next period for the channel access procedure.
