Abstract
A method for a user equipment (UE) which communicates with a base station in a serving cell is described. The method may comprise acquiring first radio resource control (RRC) information and second RRC information. The first RRC information may indicate one or more slot format combinations. The second RRC information may indicate periodic channel state information (CSI) reporting. The method may also comprise performing a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring if the first RRC information is provided. The first PDCCH monitoring may be monitoring of a first PDCCH with a first downlink control information (DCI) format. The method may further comprise performing the periodic CSI reporting on a physical uplink control channel according to the third RRC information. If the first RRC information is provided and if the first DCI format providing a slot format for a slot is not detected, a transmission of the PUCCH may be performed for a set of symbols of the slot, subject to a channel access procedure.
