Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for multiple physical resource block (PRB) operations for narrowband (NB) systems, such as NB internet-of-things (IoT). In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE), which may be an NB-IoT device. The method generally includes performing a cell search based on one or more signals received in an anchor RB within a set of RBs available for narrowband communications with a base station (BS); determining a location of at least one additional RB available for the narrowband communications with the BS based on an indication received in the anchor RB; and performing narrowband communications with the BS using at least one of: the anchor RB or the at least one additional resource block.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for determining support for one or more modulation orders to use for the transmission of control channel(s) and data channel(s). In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) determines, based on at least three modulation and coding scheme (MCS) tables, a first modulation scheme to use for communications with a wireless device for a first subset of subframes, and a second modulation scheme to use for communications with the wireless device for a second subset of subframes. Each of the three MCS tables is associated with a different maximum modulation order. The UE monitors for a data channel transmitted in the first subset of subframes using the first modulation scheme. The UE monitors for a data channel transmitted in the second subset of subframes using the second modulation scheme.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE that acquires information regarding an interfering non-serving cell and uses the information to improve decoding of serving cell signals. The method includes receiving, from a serving evolved Node B (eNB), information that includes one or more transmission characteristics of at least one non-serving cell and performing at least one of interference cancellation, demodulation, or provides an improved channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the received information.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes determining a control region for transmitting control information to a receiver based on a transport block size. In one configuration, the control region is determined based on an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDDCH) decoding time, symbol pre-processing time, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode, transmission rank, and/or user equipment (UE) interference cancellation factors. The method also includes transmitting the control information in the determined control region.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for design of synchronization signals for narrowband operation, which can be used for stand-alone/in-band/guard-band deployment. An example method is provided for operations which may be performed by a base station (BS). The example method generally includes generating a primary synchronization signal (PSS) utilizing a first code sequence and a cover code applied to the first code sequence over a first number of symbols within one or more subframes, generating a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) based on a second code sequence over a second number of symbols within one or more subframes, and transmitting the PSS and the SSS in the first and second subframes to a first type of a user equipment (UE) that communicates on one or more narrowband regions of wider system bandwidth.

Abstract: Techniques for managing re-contention on a shared communication medium are disclosed. In order to facilitate re-contending for access to the communication medium, an access point may adjust one or more uplink transmission parameters associated with a triggering condition for invoking a contention timer. In addition or as an alternative, the access point may mute transmission on the communication medium during one or more symbol periods designated for transmission. In addition or as an alternative, the access point may configure a timing advance to create a re-contention gap.
