Techniques discussed herein can facilitate determine of Uplink (UL) resources for New Radio (NR) operation in unlicensed spectrum (NR-U). One example embodiment is an apparatus employable by a UE comprising one or more processors configured to: process at least one bitmap via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, wherein each bitmap of the at least one bitmap comprises X bits, wherein X is an integer greater than one; and determine, based at least on the at least one bitmap, for each time resource of at least one Configured Grant (CG) period, whether that time resource is configured for Uplink (UL) transmission via an unlicensed carrier, wherein each CG period of the at least one CG period comprises P time resources, wherein P is an integer greater than one.
