Question: For semi-static channel occupancy, what happens when a UE's nominal repetition of a PUSCH transmission (with repetition type B) overlaps with an idle duration, and the channel occupancy is initiated by the gNB?
Option 1: The UE transmits the nominal repetition, considering all symbols during the idle duration as invalid.
Option 2: The UE drops the entire PUSCH transmission, including subsequent repetitions.
Option 3: The UE drops the nominal repetition of the PUSCH transmission but may retain subsequent repetitions after the idle period.
Option 4: The UE pauses transmission during the idle duration and resumes with the actual repetition after the idle period.
Explanation: According to procedures for semi-static channel occupancy, if a UE's nominal repetition of a PUSCH transmission (with repetition type B) overlaps with an idle duration and is associated with a gNB-initiated channel occupancy, the UE drops the nominal repetition. However, subsequent repetitions after the idle period may be retained, highlighting the importance of precise channel access management in shared spectrum scenarios.
