Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). An apparatus of a base station in a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus includes at least one processor configured to determine a length of a channel occupancy period and a length of a contention period with respect to a band shared with other system, and a transceiver configured to, when detecting no signal of the other system until a time indicated by a back-off value in the contention period, transmit a signal over the band. A method of a base station in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes determining a length of a channel occupancy period and a length of a contention period with respect to a band shared with other system, and when detecting no signal of the other system until a time indicated by a back-off value in the contention period, transmitting a signal over the band.
