    Abstract: Channel clearance using a shared radio frequency spectrum band may be performed for both a base station and a user equipment (UE). A base station may perform a listen before talk (LBT) procedure and verify one or more channels in a shared radio frequency spectrum band are available for transmissions and, if the LBT procedure is successful, transmit a pre-grant transmission to one or more UEs. The UEs may perform an LBT procedure for channel(s) indicated in the pre-grant transmission. If the UE LBT procedure passes, the UE may transmit a channel clearance signal, and may transmit a feedback communication responsive to the pre-grant transmission. The feedback communication may indicate, for example, the pre-grant transmission was received and which of the one or more channels are available based on the LBT procedure. The base station may receive the feedback communication and initiate transmissions to the UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In one example, an indication in a first control message in a control region of a first transmission time interval (TTI) identifies a data region of the first TTI. A data region of the second TTI may be identified based on a grant of resources received in a second control message of a second TTI, where the data region of the first TTI and the control region of the second TTI are frequency division multiplexed with the data region of the second TTI. Other examples include a downlink grant at the beginning of a control region and uplink grants at the end of the control region. In other examples, a downlink grant for a user equipment (UE) may include an indication of resources allocated to the UE in that resource block and a second resource block.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A number of blind decodings of a search space set for control information are defined. A search space of the search space set includes a subset of blind decodings. A reduction factor is determined. The reduction factor is applied to the subset of blind decodings to obtain a reduced subset of blind decodings for the search space. A reduced number of blind decodings of the search space set is identified based at least in part on the reduced subset of blind decodings for the search space. The control information is transmitted in a decoding candidate of the reduced number of blind decodings of the search space.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for reduced timing between certain downlink communications and responsive uplink communications relative to certain legacy systems (e.g., legacy LTE systems). A user equipment (UE) or base station may be capable of operating using two or more timing configurations that each include an associated time period between receipt of a downlink communication (e.g., a grant of uplink resources or shared channel data) and a responsive uplink communication (e.g., an uplink transmission using the granted uplink resources or feedback of successful reception of the shared channel data). In cases where a UE or base station are capable of two or more timing configurations, a timing configuration for a transmission may be determined and the responsive uplink communication transmitted according to the determined timing configuration.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network device such as a next generation (gNB) may identify control information for transmission on a downlink control channel e.g., a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The network device may identify a candidate set of decoding candidates to which the control information is able to be mapped. In some examples, each decoding candidate may include one or more control channel elements (CCEs). The network device may select, from the candidate set of decoding candidates, an actual set of decoding candidates to which the control information is to actually be mapped, and map the control information into the actual set of decoding candidates. Upon decoding the control information, the network device may transmit the control information within a search space including the actual set of decoding candidates to a user equipment (UE).

    Abstract: Techniques are described for signaling a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) switching event and an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) request in a paired spectrum environment. The base station may transmit uplink scheduling downlink control information (DCI) to a user equipment (UE) that includes the A-CSI request and an identifier for the downlink BWP of the downlink BWP switching event. After receiving the A-CSI request and the downlink BWP, the UE may perform one or more CSI measurements using the downlink BWP. The UE may use physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources associated with the uplink scheduling DCI to transmit the CSI report to the base station. Using these techniques, the base station may be configured to indicate that a downlink BWP switching event is to occur and allocate PUSCH resources to the UE to be used to transmit the CSI report associated with the downlink BWP switching event.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to signaling medium reservation information medium sharing among multiple radio technologies (RATs) are provided. A wireless communication device of a first RAT detects a channel reservation signal of a second RAT in a spectrum shared by the first RAT and the second RAT. The wireless communication device determines whether the channel reservation signal indicates a first transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration or a second TXOP duration that is different from the first TXOP duration. The wireless communication device selects, based on the determination, at least one of performing a backoff or continuing to monitor the spectrum.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to downlink control information (DCI) enhancements for non-orthogonal multiple access. For example, the disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for wireless communications that may include determining, at the base station, downlink control information (DCI) for a first user equipment (UE), wherein the DCI for the first UE comprises modulation order information, spatial layer information, and power ratio information of the first UE, and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and spatial layer information of a second UE; and transmitting the determined DCI to the first UE.
