Patent ID: 11902215

Abstract:
Embodiment of the present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for resource mapping in unlicensed spectrum. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method can include: receiving data on a first set of subbands, wherein the data is a part of a transport block (TB), the first set of subbands is a subset of a second set of subbands, the second set of subbands is allocated for the TB, and each subband of the second set of subbands has been performed a channel access procedure; determining a type of resource mapping of the TB, wherein the resource mapping includes mapping modulated complex symbols of the TB to resource blocks of the second set of subbands; and decoding the data based on the determined type of resource mapping. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a technical solution for resource mapping in unlicensed spectrum, which can improve the channel utilization efficiency of NR.
