    Abstract: Various embodiments may be generally directed to techniques for transmitting and receiving one or more reference signals opportunistically within a window over an unlicensed carrier. Various embodiments provide techniques for determining a configuration of the window within an operating environment that may include one or more different radio access technologies (RATs). Various embodiments provide techniques for transmitting the one or more reference signals opportunistically within the window based on an availability of a wireless communications medium. Various embodiments provide techniques for receiving and recovering the one or more reference signals regardless of their location within the window, thereby improving communications in an unlicensed spectrum shared by a variety of different communication devices that may operate according to a variety of different communication protocols.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device comprises a transceiver to communicate directly with one or more separate wireless devices in accordance with a WiFi communication protocol, and a controller. The controller is configured to initiate transmission of information using the transceiver upon expiration of a first contention window (CW) count value, detect whether the transmission is successful, change the CW count value to a second CW count value when the transmission is unsuccessful, and change the CW count value from the first CW count value to a third CW count value when the transmission is successful, wherein the third CW count value is a maximum value of one of the first CW count value divided by a specified binary number or a specified minimum CW count value.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment (“UE”) and an evolved Node Bs (“eNBs”) in a plurality of frequency bands. An eNB may transmit cross-carrier, cross-subframe scheduling information to a UE in a licensed frequency band. In response reception of the scheduling information, the UE may sense a wireless transmission medium to determine if the medium is idle. If the medium is idle, the UE may generate and transmit a request to reserve the medium in the unlicensed frequency band (e.g., a Clear-to-Send message). The eNB may transmit downlink data to the UE in the unlicensed frequency band. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to, during a physical random access channel (PRACH) procedure, select a first synchronization signal (SS) block from a plurality of SS blocks within a received SS burst set, the SS block selected based on signal quality measurements of the plurality of SS blocks. A PRACH preamble is encoded for transmission to a base station using a PRACH resource subset corresponding to the selected SS block, the transmission using a UE transmit (Tx) beam of a plurality of available Tx beams and transmit power indicated by a power ramping counter. Upon failing to detect a random access response (RAR) from the base station, a second SS block is selected, the power ramping counter is reset, and the PRACH preamble is encoded for re-transmission using a second PRACH resource subset and transmit power indicated by the reset power ramping counter.

    Abstract: A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB), user equipment (UE) or the like) can operate to enable scheduling UL transmissions on transmission opportunities outside of the UL grants or for multi-carrier UL scheduling. A communication component of the device can operate to process or generate communications on an unlicensed band or a licensed band in response to UL grants and indications provided via a DL transmission for scheduling. An eNB can provide indications to a UE for processing that indicate whether a transmission opportunity is on the same transmission opportunity as the UL grants or an external/outside transmission opportunity. The indications can further trigger an listen-before-talk (LBT) protocol, which can vary between a category 4 LBT or a single LBT interval that is shorter than the category 4 LBT, depending on the indication.

    Abstract: Techniques for communication of a partial subframe and properties related to the partial subframe of a plurality of subframes in licensed assisted access (LAA) for an unlicensed frequency band are discussed. A network device (e.g., an evolved NodeB, or other cell network device) can generate a listen before talk (LBT) protocol in order to determine whether an unlicensed carrier of a secondary cell device is idle or busy. The evolved Node B (eNB) can communicate starting or ending partial subframes in a downlink transmission, and a user equipment (UE) can process partial subframes based on the communications and a scheduling policy.
