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; and
receiving from a base station, on an unlicensed spectrum, the downlink transmission burst starting from a target position, wherein the target position is one of the plurality of possible starting positions,
wherein the plurality of possible starting positions corresponds to symbols, in the first subframe, that are mutually spaced with a plurality of symbols.
