1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
acknowledging a plurality of possible starting positions of transmission in a first subframe of a downlink transmission burst on an unlicensed spectrum, wherein the downlink transmission burst includes Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH); and
receiving, from a base station, the downlink transmission burst starting from a target position on the unlicensed spectrum, wherein,
the target position is any one of the plurality of possible starting positions, and
the plurality of possible starting positions corresponds to a plurality of positions, in the first subframe, that are mutually spaced with an interval of a duration of a plurality of symbols.
