    摘要: Methods and apparatuses in a wireless communication system operating with shared spectrum channel access. A method of operating a UE includes receiving an SS/PBCH block; determining a higher-layer parameter ssb-SubcarrierOffset based on an MIB of a PBCH included in the SS/PBCH block; determining a bit (āĀ+5) from a payload of the PBCH; and determining a first value (kSSB) based on a second value (kSSB). Four LSBs of the second value (kSSB) are indicated by the higher-layer parameter ssb-SubcarrierOffset and an MSB of the second value (kSSB) is indicated by the bit (āĀ+5).

    摘要: A method of a UE in a wireless communication system supporting a shared spectrum channel access is provided. The UE comprises: receiving, from a BS over a first downlink channel, a SS/PBCH block; determining a transmission window in which the received SS/PBCH block is located; determining whether a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS is present based on the received SS/PBCH block; determining a parameter for a QCL assumption of candidate SS/PBCH blocks within the transmission window; determining a group of QCLed candidate SS/PBCH blocks within the transmission window based on the determined parameter for the QCL assumption; determining a group of slots including the Type0-PDCCH CSS, wherein each slot of the group of slots corresponds to a candidate SS/PBCH block within the group of QCLed candidate SS/PBCH blocks; and receiving, over a second downlink channel, at least one Type0-PDCCH based on the determined groups of slots including the Type0-PDCCH CSS.

The method comprises determining a set of time and frequency domain resources to transmit a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble over a PRACH, determining a format of the PRACH preamble, wherein the PRACH preamble includes one or more repeated preambles based on a sequence and a cyclic prefix (CP) preceding repeated preamble sequences for the one or more repeated preambles, determining a set of time and frequency domain resources to perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in an unlicensed spectrum, determining whether to transmit the PRACH preamble associated with the LBT operation in the unlicensed spectrum, and transmitting, to a base station (BS), the PRACH preamble in the unlicensed spectrum based on a result of the determination of the LBT operation to transmit PRACH preamble.
