Abstract
The application discloses a wireless communication method that includes receiving, by a network device, uplink transmission of a first terminal in a first duration of channel occupancy duration of the first terminal. The channel occupancy duration of the first terminal further includes a second duration, and the second duration is later than the first duration. The network device performs downlink transmission in the second duration, where the sum of the first duration and the second duration is less than or equal to the channel occupancy duration of the first terminal. The method provides an efficient use of resources obtained through contention in an unlicensed frequency band.
