Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes inserting channel or interference estimation modulation symbols into a sequence of data modulation symbols; performing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on a group of modulation symbols in the sequence of data modulation symbols, the group of modulation symbols including at least one of the channel or interference estimation modulation symbols; and generating a single-carrier frequency domain modulated (SC-FDM) symbol stream based at least in part on an output of the DFT. A second method includes performing an IDFT on a tone-demapped output of a DFT for each of at least one SC-FDM symbol stream, to recover a plurality of data modulation symbols and channel or interference estimation modulation symbols for each of the at least one SC-FDM symbol stream; estimating interference based at least in part on the channel or interference estimation modulation symbols; and decoding the data modulation symbols based at least in part on the estimated interference.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes winning a contention for access to an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, transmitting a request message upon winning the contention for access to the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, and receiving a response message over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The request message is transmitted by a user equipment (UE) on an enhanced physical random access channel (ePRACH) or shortened ePRACH (SePRACH), to access a cell that operates in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The response message is received in response to transmitting the request message, and the request message may be transmitted irrespective of whether a base station has gained access to the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A receiving device may detect a signal associated with low latency transmissions and decode a non-low latency communication accordingly. The receiving device may receive an indicator from a transmitting device that indicates where and when low latency communications occur. The indication may specify frequency resources or symbols used by the low latency communication. The indicator may be transmitted during the same subframe as the low latency communication, at the end of a subframe, or during a subsequent subframe. The receiving device may use the indicator to mitigate low latency interference, generate channel estimates, and reliably decode the non-low latency communication. In some cases, the interfering low latency communication may occur within the serving cell of the receiving device; or the interfering low latency communication may occur in a neighboring cell.
Abstract:
The present disclosure, for example, relates to one or more techniques for indicating a frame format for transmissions using unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. A UE may receive, from a base station, a frame format indicator associated with a transmission opportunity for transmissions in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may determine a time-division duplexing (TDD) configuration for the transmission opportunity based at least in part on the frame format indicator.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes transmitting a first signal to indicate accessing a first channel in a radio frequency spectrum band, and transmitting information with the first signal in the radio frequency spectrum band. A second method includes winning contention to access a radio frequency spectrum band, and after the winning contention to access the radio frequency spectrum band, transmitting a first signal to align a starting point of a second signal with a reference boundary associated with the radio frequency spectrum band. A third method includes winning contention to access a radio frequency spectrum band during a first frame period, the first frame selected from a plurality of different frame periods, and transmitting a signal at a periodicity during one or more subframes of the first frame period for each of the plurality of different frame periods.
