Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable for an uplink partial subframe transmission on an unlicensed carrier is disclosed. The UE can select one or more uplink (UL) partial subframe configurations based on one or more prospective lengths of a listen before talk (LBT) period, wherein each prospective length of the LBT period provides a prospective starting time. The UE can encode data for each of the one or more UL partial subframe configurations to form one or more UL partial subframe configuration encodings. The UE can identify an actual LBT period. The UE can select one of the one or more UL partial subframe configuration encodings for UL transmission of the data on the unlicensed carrier based on the actual LBT period and a corresponding prospective starting time.

Abstract: Technology for a next generation node B (gNB) operable to provide coverage enhancement for unlicensed internet of of things (IoT) is disclosed. The gNB can encode, for transmission on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), data in a selected subframe. The gNB can encode, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), a number of repetitions in time, a value of Ni, for the data to be transmitted on the PDSCH, wherein the value of N1 is a positive integer value. The gNB can encode the data on N1 consecutive subframes for repeated transmission of the data in the selected subframe to the UE. The gNB can include a memory interface configured to receive from a memory the data in the selected subframe.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB), user equipment (UE) or the like) can operate to enable scheduling UL transmissions on transmission opportunities outside of the UL grants or for multi-carrier UL scheduling. A communication component of the device can operate to process or generate communications on an unlicensed band or a licensed band in response to UL grants and indications provided via a DL transmission for scheduling. An eNB can provide indications to a UE for processing that indicate whether a transmission opportunity is on the same transmission opportunity as the UL grants or an external/outside transmission opportunity. The indications can further trigger an listen-before-talk (LBT) protocol, which can vary between a category 4 LBT or a single LBT interval that is shorter than the category 4 LBT, depending on the indication.

Abstract: An enhanced NodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and communication methods therebetween using an unlicensed channel of an unlicensed band are generally described. The eNB measures an interference power level (IPL) of the unlicensed channel at the eNB and determine a transmit power level (TPL) for a downlink transmission based on the IPL, the TPL decreasing with increasing IPL. Feedback including unlicensed channel conditions measured by the UE is used by the eNB to determine the UE-eNB proximity. The eNB determines whether to transmit the downlink transmission to the UE based on the IPL and the proximity; as the IPL increases, the eNB services increasingly proximate UEs until, when the IPL exceeds a predetermined threshold, the eNB does not service any UE using the unlicensed channel. The eNB schedules and transmits the downlink transmission to the UE using the transmit power level.
