    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for techniques for downlink (DL) scheduling and uplink (UL) scheduling in a shared radio frequency (RF)spectrum band. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive an UL data transmission grant associated with a channel of shared RF spectrum band. The wireless communication device may perform a channel readiness procedure associated with the channel. The wireless communication device may also transmit channel readiness information based at least in part on the channel readiness procedure to a base station. The channel readiness information may be transmitted via an uplink channel of a licensed RF spectrum band different from the shared RF band. In other aspects, a base station may schedule a data transmission on one or more channels of a shared RF spectrum band. The base station may transmit a data transmission grant for the scheduled data transmission to a wireless communication device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic monitoring and scheduling in retransmission are described for wireless communications. For example, a receiving device may receive a data transmission in a first receiver bandwidth, determine that a data packet of the data transmission was unsuccessfully decoded, switch to a second receiver bandwidth that is wider than the first receiver bandwidth or narrower than the first receiver bandwidth (e.g., based on determining that the data packet was unsuccessfully decoded), and receive a retransmission of the data packet in the second receiver bandwidth. In another example, a transmitting device may schedule a data transmission according to a first receiver bandwidth, receive an indication that a data packet of the data transmission was unsuccessfully decoded, and schedule a retransmission of the data packet according to a second receiver bandwidth that is wider than the first receiver bandwidth or narrower than the first receiver bandwidth.

    Abstract: An apparatus may receive, from a scheduling entity, sidelink grant information in a downlink control channel. After receiving the grant information in the downlink control channel, the apparatus may transmit a request-to-send (RTS) signal comprising an indication of a requested duration of time to reserve a sidelink channel for sidelink data. If the sidelink channel is available for the requested duration of time, the apparatus may receive a clear-to-send (CTS) signal configured to indicate an availability of the sidelink channel for the requested duration of time. Subsequently, the apparatus may communicate, with another apparatus different from the scheduling entity, the sidelink data using the sidelink channel during the requested duration of time. Afterwards, the apparatus may communicate acknowledgment information corresponding to the communication of the sidelink signal with the other apparatus. Various additional and alternative aspects are described herein.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for SPS for low-latency communications. A wireless communication device may establish a block of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resources in each of a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs) for transmission of priority traffic, and determine that a level of priority traffic to transmit during a first TTI of the plurality of TTIs is below a priority traffic threshold. The wireless communication device may transmit a per-TTI release signal to indicate that the block of SPS resources in the first TTI is released from being reserved for priority traffic.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In an FDD system, a UE may identify an indicator associated with ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) while communicating in a sidelink channel. The UE may also identify dedicated uplink resources in the sidelink channel, and reserve the dedicated uplink resources. The dedicated uplink resources may be reserved for an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback or for a scheduling request (SR). URLLC data may be communicated, and the reserved uplink resources may be utilized to transmit an ACK/NACK feedback or a SR. In a TDD system, a base station may transmit information identifying dedicated resources for URLLC data. In some cases, a base station may transmit an indicator channel, which a sidelink UE may monitor to determine the presence of URLLC data, and respond accordingly.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to provide priority traffic grant-less access to pre-defined communication resources that are semi-persistently scheduled. A set of semi-persistent communication resources may be reserved for use by priority traffic. If the semi-persistent resources are not used for priority traffic, the semi-persistent resources may be scheduled for use by other types of traffic. As priority traffic is identified, the priority traffic may be transmitted using the semi-persistent resource without having those communication resources granted by a scheduling entity. Such grant-less access to the semi-persistent resources may result in collisions between the scheduled traffic and the priority traffic. To mitigate interference between different traffic types, the scheduled traffic may be transmitted using a transmission power that ensures an interference parameter indicative of an amount of interference imposed by the scheduled traffic on the priority traffic satisfies an interference threshold.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to distributed joint access of an unlicensed sidelink channel Each sidelink device may perform independent and asynchronous listen before talk (LBT) of the unlicensed sidelink channel with a respective back-off timer value. The first sidelink device to complete back-off may transmit a joint access synchronization (JAS) signal indicating a duration of time that the unlicensed sidelink channel may be accessed by sidelink devices. Synchronized access sharing of the unlicensed sidelink channel across different active sidelinks may then be achieved through distributed handshake signaling.
