Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and system for requesting access to resources for uplink communications in unlicensed spectrum. In particular, a user equipment (UE) may detect one or more of a first type of data or a second type of data to be transmitted to a base station (BS). The UE may then determine if a first type of physical random access channel (PRACH) resource is available for transmitting one or more of the first type of data or the second type of data to the BS. If the first type of PRACH resource is available, then the UE may transmit one or more of the first type of data or the second type of data using the first type of PRACH resource. If the first type of PRACH resource is not available, then the UE may transmit the second type of data using a second type of PRACH resource.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to drone user equipment (UE) indications that may be conveyed to a wireless network. In particular, a UE that has flight capabilities (i.e., capabilities to operate as an unmanned aircraft system) and optional further capabilities to report a current height level may indicate such capabilities to the wireless network. As such, the wireless network may differentiate the drone UE from other UEs that only operate on the ground. Furthermore, the optional current height level may enable the wireless network to differentiate among drone UEs operating at different heights and/or from other UEs that are operating on the ground. The wireless network may further use the information indicating the flight capabilities either alone or in combination with the optional height information to configure power control parameters, manage interference, provide mobility management functions, generate neighbor lists, control beamforming, or implement a radio resource configuration or management procedure.

Abstract: Wireless communication systems and methods related to spectrum use negotiations are provided. A first wireless communication device transmits, to a controlling entity of a spectrum, a spectrum use request for a local operator to use the spectrum for a time period. The first wireless communication device receives, from the controlling entity, a spectrum use grant indicating that the local operator is promoted from a first priority to a second priority for accessing the spectrum during the time period. The first wireless communication device communicates with a second wireless communication device in the spectrum during the time period based on the second priority, where at least the first wireless communication device or the second wireless communication device is associated with the local operator.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting adaptive resource negotiation between evolved node Bs (eNBs) for enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) are provided. This resource negotiation may occur via a network backhaul between the eNBs or, in some cases, using over-the-air messages (OAMs). For certain aspects, a first eNB may propose its adaptive resource partitioning information (ARPI) to a second eNB, where the second eNB may accept or reject the proposed resource partitioning. If the second eNB accepts the proposed partitioning, the second eNB may schedule resources, such as subframes, based on the accepted partitioning.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A base station transmits a provisional grant uplink assignment to a set of UEs. When a UE receives the provisional grant uplink assignment, the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) operation on a secondary component carrier (SCC) based on the provisional grant UL assignment, the SCC being a contention-based carrier. Then, the UE transmits a schedule request (SR) on the SCC when the CCA operation succeeds. The base station transmits grant confirmation(s) on the SCC in response to the detected SR(s). Once the UE receives a grant confirmation on the SCC in response to the SR, the UE transmits data on the SCC.

A first wireless communication device identifies a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a shared spectrum shared by the plurality of network operating entities. The first wireless communication device is associated with a first network operating entity of the plurality of network operating entities. The first wireless communication device identifies a resource in the TXOP designated for autonomous communication. The first wireless communication device communicates autonomous data with a second wireless communication device associated with the first network operating entity during the TXOP using the resource.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for configuring an adaptive frame structure for wireless communications systems using unlicensed radio frequency spectrum. A base station (BS) may determine whether another device is transmitting on a channel in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum or one or more other network conditions pertaining to the channel, determine a frame structure from a plurality of frame structures used for data communications based at least in part on the one or more network conditions, wherein each of the plurality of frame structures has a different frame duration, and communicate with a user equipment (UE) using the determined frame structure. A UE may determine a frame structure from a plurality of frame structures used for data communications, wherein each of the plurality of frame structures has a different frame duration, and communicate with a BS using the determined frame structure.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for wireless communications are described. The aspects relate to a frame structure for new radio shared spectrum. For instance, the frame structure may provide shared medium access by multiple operators in a new radio shared spectrum system. Specifically, the present aspects provide for utilizing reservation preambles associated with a distinct operator for announcing to other operators a reservation of at least one transmission opportunity of a given frame in the new radio shared spectrum.

Abstract: Techniques for spectrum sharing among operators are provided. A base station (BS) licensed to a first operator monitors, while operating on a first carrier frequency assigned to the first operator, a reservation period on a second carrier frequency assigned to a second operator that shares spectrum with the first operator. The BS determines, based on the monitoring, availability of the second carrier frequency for use by the BS during at least one subsequent data period. The BS determines whether to attempt to reserve access on the second carrier frequency for use during the at least one subsequent data period based on the determined availability.
