Abstract: Management of shared transmission resources is disclosed for multiple radio access networks (RANs) sharing access to a finite number of transmission slots. Multiple permutations of slot assignments are configured in which each competing network is assigned a specific slot in each permutation. The sequence of permutations provides a fair distribution of spectrum access by the competing networks, such that in each permutation of the permutation sequence, networks assigned to lower priority slots may be assigned to higher priority slots in later permutations.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may schedule an autonomous uplink (UL) transmission and a scheduled UL transmission during the same time period. The wireless device may determine that it is operating in a limited power state and therefore cannot transmit both the autonomous UL transmission and the scheduled UL transmission. The wireless device may prioritize one of the autonomous UL transmission and the scheduled UL transmission based at least in part on a priority configuration. The wireless device may receive the priority configuration from a base station (e.g., in radio resource control signaling).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The described techniques provide for transmission of uplink data from a user equipment (UE) in the absence of scheduled uplink resources for the uplink data transmission that are allocated to the UE prior to the transmission of the uplink data. Various examples provide frame structures that may be used for unscheduled uplink transmissions of a UE. Unscheduled uplink transmissions may be transmitted in a shared or unlicensed radio frequency spectrum, and access to the shared or unlicensed radio frequency spectrum may be determined based on a priority of an operator associated with a UE for accessing the spectrum. Beamforming techniques may be used for uplink and downlink transmissions and beam widths for beamformed transmissions may be selected based on the information transmitted in a transmission, an operator priority for use of shared radio frequency spectrum, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for a base station to use frequency hopping for cell acquisition according to a frequency hopping pattern. The frequency hopping pattern may include a set of anchor channels and a set of non-anchor channels used by a base station to communicate with wireless devices. The base station may occupy an anchor channel more often than a non-anchor channel and may transmit acquisition signals using the anchor channel. The anchor channel may also be used by the base station and a user equipment (UE) to exchange paging information, positioning information, random access resources, location of other channels, etc.

Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) feedback in long term evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) networks including unlicensed spectrum is disclosed in which a base station obtains clear channel assessment (CCA) result information from neighboring base stations, either directly or by determining such results from measurement or reports from user equipment (UE) served by the base station. The base station may then generate control signaling based on the CCA result information for transmission to the one or more UEs served by the base station.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for detecting interference caused by a wireless local area network (WLAN) and a wireless wide area network (WWAN) node operating in an unlicensed or shared spectrum is disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a base station may generate a null tone pattern for one or more subframes transmitted to the UE. The null tone pattern may include one or more null tones mapped to consecutive symbols in each resource block to detect interference. Accordingly, a UE may monitor a wireless channel from a base station for a null tone transmission. The UE may detect a null tone pattern by decoding a known physical layer channel to identify the null tone pattern. In some aspects, the UE may generate channel estimates, decode allocated resources, determine timing of future transmissions and/or establish communication with the base station based on the identified null tone pattern.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for wireless communication. From a plurality of physical carriers associated with a clear channel assessment (CCA) performed by a device, one of the physical carriers for which the CCA was successful may be identified. A virtual carrier associated with a wireless data transmission by the device may be mapped to the identified one of the physical carriers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink grant that conveys an indication of a multi-transmission opportunity (TxOP) grant. The UE may transmit, during a first TxOP, a first uplink transmission in one or more subframes in accordance with the multi-TxOP grant. The UE may transmit, during a second TxOP, a second uplink transmission in one or more subframes in accordance with the multi-TxOP grant.

Abstract: Mitigation of inter-base station resynchronization loss in wireless networks including contention-based shared frequency spectrum is discussed. Aspects of such mitigation provide for base stations entering into an idle mode when a transmission opportunity occurs in a radio frame of the next resynchronization occasion. Additional aspects provide for the base station to signal a flexible listen before talk (LBT) frame length to the user equipment (UE), either with or without explicit signaling of the downlink-uplink division. Further aspects provide for the base station to signal a reset indication to UEs that will prompt the UEs to monitor for downlink channel reserving signals prior to the current LBT frame ending by the resynchronization occasion.
