User equipment fixed frame period for frame-based equipment mode in unlicensed spectrum

Abstract

Various aspects of the disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) can determine a fixed frame period (FFP) configured for the UE in a frame-based equipment mode. The FFP configured for the UE includes one or more idle periods and a channel occupancy time that is offset from the FFP configured for a base station communicating with the UE on an unlicensed channel. The UE can refrain from transmitting on the unlicensed channel during the one or more idle periods. The one or more idle periods can at least partially overlap with a period of time in which the base station refrains from transmitting on the unlicensed channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.
