The UE may determine information unique to the first TRP. The information unique to the first TRP may be at least one of associated with the DCI communication or included in the DCI communication. The UE may generate a downlink scrambling sequence initialization code, associated with the first TRP, based at least in part on the information unique to the first TRP. The UE may generate a downlink scrambling sequence, associated with the first TRP, based at least in part on the downlink scrambling sequence initialization code associated with the first TRP. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for managing uplink scheduling for one or more user equipment served by a network entity in a wireless communications system are presented. For instance, an example method is presented that includes generating, by the network entity, an uplink bandwidth allocation map, the uplink bandwidth allocation map defining an uplink bandwidth allocation for at least one of the one or more user equipment for at least one of a plurality of uplink transmission window lengths. In addition, the example method includes transmitting the uplink bandwidth allocation map to at least one of the one or more user equipment.
Abstract:
Described are methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums of enabling transmission of feedback for a mixture of pre-timed and on-demand acknowledgements. In an example, an apparatus receives a first transmission and a second transmission. The apparatus determines that the first transmission is associated with pre-timed acknowledgement rules and also determines that the second transmission is associated with on-demand acknowledgement rules. The apparatus transmits a first acknowledgement of the first transmission according to the pre-timed acknowledgement rules and transmits a second acknowledgement of the second transmission according to the on-demand acknowledgement rules.
Abstract:
Techniques for broadcast channel management on a shared communication medium are disclosed. An access terminal may be configured to identify a subframe number associated with a given subframe based not only on a subframe number indicator but also a reference boundary. Conversely, an access point may be configured to set a subframe number indicator for a given subframe based not only on its subframe number but also a reference boundary.
Abstract:
Techniques for control channel signaling on a shared communication medium are disclosed. An access point or an access terminal may communicate over a communication medium in accordance with a Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure defining a set of subframes that each span a plurality of time-domain symbol periods. The access point may transmit and the access terminal may receive control information via a short Physical Uplink Control Channel (sPUCCH) on one or more of the subframes in a portion of the subframe configured for uplink signaling. The sPUCCH may comprise one or more pilot symbols and one or more payload symbols that collectively occupy a subset of less than all of the symbol periods in each of the one or more subframes.

Techniques for transmitting acknowledgments on a shared communication medium are disclosed. In an aspect, an access terminal receives, from an access point, a plurality of downlink subframes on a downlink channel of the wireless communication medium, the plurality of downlink subframes carrying data for a plurality of processes. The access terminal transmits, to the access point, acknowledgments for the plurality of downlink subframes on an uplink subframe of an uplink channel of the wireless communication medium on one or more occasions, the uplink subframe including a plurality of bits, the plurality of bits corresponding to the plurality of downlink subframes or the plurality of processes.
Abstract:
Techniques for indicating and determining a subframe timing of an access point on a shared communication medium are disclosed. A method of transmitting a discovery reference signal (DRS) may include establishing a transmission timing for transmission of the DRS relative to a system timing of an access point, determining whether to transmit the DRS during a particular SF based on the selected DRS transmission window, and transmitting the DRS to at least one access terminal during the particular SF in response to a determination to transmit the DRS.
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.
