- the base station can easily meet the transmission bandwidth rule.
- the base station can avoid interruption of transmission by transmitting in a short time.
- bandwidth part (BWP)) It is considered to set the bandwidth (UE channel bandwidth) of the initial downlink (DL) bandwidth part (bandwidth part (BWP)) for NR-U to 20 MHz. This is because the coexistence system Wi-Fi has a channel bandwidth of 20 MHz. In this case, SSB, RMSI PDCCH, RMSI PDSCH need to be included in the 20 MHz bandwidth.
- NR-U DRS may be transmitted periodically regardless of whether there is an active UE or an idle UE.
- the base station can periodically perform signal transmission required for the channel access procedure using a simple LBT, and the UE can quickly access the NR-U cell.
- NR-U DRS packs signals in a short time in order to limit the number of necessary channel accesses and realize a short channel occupation time.

- Option 2 When multiple BWPs are set, a single BWP is activated, and the base station succeeds in the Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) of the entire BWP, the PDSCH is transmitted on the BWP.
- Option 3 Multiple BWPs are configured, a single BWP is activated, and the PDSCH is transmitted on the part of the BWP where the CCA was successful at the base station.
- CCA Clear Channel Assessment
- CCA may be determined for each band of 20 MHz.
- the UE may assume the presence of a signal such as DMRS in the PDCCH or the group common PDCCH (group common (GC)-PDCCH) for detecting the transmission burst from the serving base station.
- the PDCCH may be a PDCCH for one UE (UE dedicated PDCCH, normal PDCCH (Regular PDCCH)).
- the GC-PDCCH may be a PDCCH common to one or more UEs (UE group common PDCCH).
- the transmission burst may not be transmitted regularly by the LBT, so it is not necessary to perform blind decoding (blind detection) to detect the transmission burst in order to reduce the power of the UE. May be.

- the base station when a single active BWP has four subbands and Option 3 (the second downlink transmission method) is applied, the base station is in each of the four subbands. If an LBT is performed and all LBT results are idle, then the transmission on the active BWP can be performed. When the LBT result in any of the subbands is busy, the base station can perform transmission in subbands other than the subband.
- a single active BWP includes four consecutive subbands #0, #1, #2, and #3.

- the specific UE operation, necessary notification, etc. are not clear.
- the second downlink transmission method if the transmission band of the PDCCH at the head of the transmission burst changes depending on the LBT result by the base station (eg, gNB), it is not clear how the UE blind-decodes the PDCCH. It is not clear whether the second downlink transmission method supports all combinations of LBT subbands. For example, the size of the transmission band, the number of LBT subbands, the size of the gap between the LBT subbands, the number of gaps, etc. are not clear. If the UE performs blind decoding for all candidates of LBT subband combinations, the processing is complicated and the load is high.
- At least one transmission band of PDCCH and PDSCH changes according to the LBT result by the base station, and resources of the transmission band corresponding to the LBT result are allocated to at least one of PDCCH and PDSCH (depending on the LBT result. If at least one of PDCCH and PDSCH is mapped to a different transmission band), a processing delay occurs. It is also possible that the processing delay differs depending on the combination of LBT subbands.
- the base station needs to perform a process of determining bands of PDCCH and PDSCH according to the LBT result and determining resource allocation information of PDSCH in DCI in the PDCCH. It is conceivable that this process causes a delay from the transmission of the LBT to the transmission of the PDCCH. In order to reduce the processing delay, it may be considered that the base station prepares PDCCH candidates corresponding to all combinations of LBT results, but the scale becomes large.
- the first downlink transmission method does not have the problems (blind decoding, processing delay) of the second downlink transmission method, and the load on the UE can be suppressed. However, if it is not possible to recognize which of the first downlink transmission method and the second downlink transmission method is applied, there is a risk of performing unnecessary operations.
