Abstract
A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise receiving circuitry configured to receive a downlink control information (DCI) format including an information field. The information field may indicate a combination of a channel access type, a cyclic prefix (CP) extension index and a channel access priority class (CAPC). The UE may also comprise transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The SRS and the PUSCH may be based on the DCI format. There may be a gap between the SRS and the PUSCH. The gap may be longer than 16 microseconds. If the SRS is transmitted earlier than the PUSCH, the channel access type and the CP extension index corresponding to the indicated combination may apply to the SRS, a predetermined channel access type and a predetermined CP extension length may apply to the PUSCH, a predetermined CAPC may apply to the SRS, and the CAPC corresponding to the indicated combination may apply to the PUSCH.
