Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. User equipment (UE) and base stations may support frequency hopping with fast retuning for enhanced machine type communication (eMTC). For example, a UE may need to retune portions of its receive or transmit chain to support operation on various frequency bands, and it may perform the retune within a few symbols. Both base station and UE may anticipate or account for the retuning delay and communicate accordingly. A base station may refrain from transmitting for a certain period of time, for example. A base station may also account for frequency hopping delays for uplink communications. Systems may employ other techniques to support eMTC. For example, UEs may leverage reference signal patterns in certain control channels for demodulation. In some cases, base stations may alter control channel transmissions to account for various types of UEs with in the system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for soft hybrid automatic repeat request operation in wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may fail to decode a received signal, for example. The UE may store a portion of the signal in a buffer if the signal size is greater than the buffer size; otherwise, the UE may store the entire signal in the buffer. The UE may then receive a second signal and combine the second signal with the stored portion of the first signal; the combined signal may be larger than the buffer size. This combined signal may, for example, have a code rate less than the first signal. The UE may perform a second decoding attempt on the combined signal. The UE may determine that the second decoding attempt failed and may store a portion of the combined signal in the buffer.

Abstract: A wireless device may determine a coverage enhancement (CE) level (or coverage extension) by attempting to decode a received broadcast signal. The wireless device may attempt to decode a portion of the broadcast signal using a CE level that is less than the CE level of the broadcast. If the decoding attempt is successfully, the CE level may be declared as an operating CE level. If decoding is unsuccessful, the CE level may be increased decoding retried. The wireless device may continue to test-decode the broadcast signal at new (e.g., increasing) CE levels until a CE level is sufficient for a decode and is declared the operating CE level of the wireless device. In some cases, the wireless device test-decodes a broadcast channel after selecting a CE level based on a path loss measurement of a downlink signal (e.g., reference signal).

Abstract translation: 无线设备可以通过尝试对所接收的广播信号进行解码来确定覆盖增强（CE）级别（或覆盖扩展）。 无线设备可以尝试使用小于广播的CE级别的CE级别来解码广播信号的一部分。 如果解码尝试成功，则CE级别可以被声明为操作的CE级别。 如果解码不成功，则CE级别可能会增加解码重试。 无线设备可以继续以新的（例如，增加）CE级别对广播信号进行测试解码，直到CE级别足以用于解码，并且被宣告为无线设备的操作CE级别。 在某些情况下，无线设备在基于下行链路信号的路径损耗测量（例如，参考信号）选择CE级别之后对广播信道进行测试解码。

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for wireless communications. In one method, an opportunity may be identified for a first operator to perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) for a shared spectrum. The opportunity may be based on a priority of the first operator with respect to at least one other operator associated with the shared spectrum. The CCA may be performed for the shared spectrum during the identified opportunity to determine whether the shared spectrum is available for a transmission during a transmission interval.

Abstract: Techniques for improving uplink throughput of UE uplink transmissions are disclosed. The UE may communicate with an eNB over an LTE wireless link using a first radio, and with a WLAN access point over a WLAN wireless link using a second radio. The UE may schedule a first portion of uplink data from an aggregating layer of the UE for transmission over the WLAN wireless link during a scheduling window, the scheduling based on an availability of access to the LTE wireless link. The UE may transmit the first portion of the uplink data over the WLAN wireless link during the scheduling window. The aggregation of the LTE wireless link with the WLAN wireless link may allow the UE to transmit uplink data from the aggregating layer of the UE over both the LTE wireless link or the WLAN wireless link.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless system utilizing one or more time-division duplexing (TDD) configured carriers may utilize a dual transmission time interval (TTI) structure (e.g., at the subframe level and symbol-level). The symbol level TTIs may be referred to as low latency (LL) TTIs, and may be organized within LL subframes. A LL subframe may be a subframe that is scheduled for transmissions in one direction (e.g., uplink or downlink, according to a TDD configuration) and may include multiple LL symbols scheduled for both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) transmissions. Guard periods may be scheduled between adjacent LL symbols that have opposite directions of transmission to enable user equipment (UEs) to transition from receiving mode to transmit mode (or vice versa). The LL subframes may be transparent to receiving devices that do not support LL operations.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于无线通信的方法，系统和设备。 利用一个或多个时分双工（TDD）配置的载波的无线系统可以利用双传输时间间隔（TTI）结构（例如，在子帧级和符号级）。 符号级TTI可以被称为低延迟（LL）TTI，并且可以被组织在LL子帧内。 LL子帧可以是被调度用于在一个方向（例如，根据TDD配置）的上行链路或下行链路）的传输的子帧，并且可以包括为上行链路（UL）和下行链路（DL）传输两者调度的多个LL符号。 可以在具有相反传输方向的相邻LL符号之间安排保护周期，以使得用户设备（UE）能够从接收模式转换到发射模式（反之亦然）。 对于不支持LL操作的接收设备，LL子帧可能是透明的。

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for supporting common reference signaling in wireless communications systems. Some configurations introduce a phase discontinuity between common reference signal (CRS) transmissions on different subframes. This may address issues that may arise when a reduced CRS periodicity is utilized. Indicators may also be transmitted from base stations to user equipment (UEs) to indicate whether phase continuity may be assumed or not. Some configurations may support CRS sequence initialization. These tools and techniques may utilize an extended CRS sequence periodicity, which may increase the number of CRS sequences transmitted by a cell.
