FRAME BASED EQUIPMENT (FBE) STRUCTURE FOR NEW RADIO-UNLICENSED (NR-U)

Wireless communications systems and methods related frame based equipment (FBE) communications in a wireless communication network are provided. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS), system information including a frame based equipment (FBE) configuration indicating a plurality of frame periods. Each frame period of the plurality of frame periods includes a gap period, where a start or an end of the gap period of a first frame period of the plurality of frame periods is aligned to a beginning of a radio frame. The UE communicates, with the BS, a communication based on the FBE configuration.
