Abstract: There is a need to support narrowband TDD frame structure for narrowband communications. The present disclosure provides a solution by supporting one or more narrowband TDD frame structure(s) for narrowband communications. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus may receive information associated with a narrowband TDD frame structure. The apparatus may also transmit an uplink transmission a predetermined number of times using a first scrambling sequence. In one aspect, the first scrambling sequence may be determined using a first number of least significant bits (LSBs) associated with a first radio frame. In another aspect, the first number of LSBs may be larger than a second number of LSBs used in a second scrambling sequence associated with a narrowband frequency-division duplex (FDD) uplink transmission.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to constraining no-listen-before-talk (LBT)-based transmissions during link direction switches in a frequency spectrum shared by multiple network operating entities are provided. A first wireless communication device, communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a configuration for determining whether to perform an LBT after a link direction switch. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, a first communication signal in a first link direction during a channel occupancy time (COT) period of the first wireless communication device or the second wireless communication device. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, a second communication signal in a second link direction different from the first link direction during the COT period based on the configuration.

Abstract: A base station (BS) may transmit, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, a physical channel, such as a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) or a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH). In an interference-limited scenario in a network, it may be desirable to perform additional processing to introduce interference randomization into the control channel to ensure that the UE can recover data of the control channel. Some types of UEs, such as legacy UEs, may not be capable of recovering the control channel when the additional processing is performed. In some aspects, the BS may identify a type of UE associated with a cell, and may transmit a physical channel processed using a processing scheme selected based at least in part on the type of UE associated with the cell.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to techniques for mitigating the decoding errors observed at the receiver as a result of puncturing symbols between consecutive subframes having the same transmission direction. To reduce the decoding errors, a plurality of transmission options, each including a number of resource blocks and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), may be identified. In addition, each transmission option may be associated with one or more puncturing patterns that hinder decoding of a codeword at the receiver. The base station or user equipment (UE) may then select or modify at least one aspect of a scheduling decision involving the communication of the codeword in a given subframe of at least two consecutive subframes to minimize decoding errors. For example, a selected puncturing pattern or a transport block size associated with a selected transmission option may be modified.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating random access messages are provided. A method includes communicating, by a first wireless communication device with a second wireless communication device, mode information for determining whether to perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) mode for a random access procedure. The method also includes communicating, by the first wireless communication device with the second wireless communication device, a random access message based on the mode information.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for implicitly linking aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) reports to CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources. In an aspect, the UE may be instructed to report on specific CSI-RS resource(s) via explicit signaling in the UE grant. Other aspects disclose techniques for implicit CSI-RS resource selection by the UE that require fewer signaling resources. Instead of explicitly signaling CSI-RS resources to the UE, the UE may implicitly select CSI-RS resource for CSI feedback reporting based on information known to the UE, e.g. a subframe on which a reporting request is received. This may reduce the impact of the additional signaling in the UE grant.

Abstract: There is a need to support narrowband TDD frame structure for narrowband communications. The present disclosure provides a solution by supporting one or more narrowband TDD frame structure(s) for narrowband communications. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may determine a narrowband communication frame structure comprising a FDD frame structure or a TDD frame structure and a narrowband TDD frame structure configuration for narrowband communications from a group of narrowband TDD frame structures configurations. The apparatus may determine one or more narrowband carriers and subframes within the one or more narrowband carriers to transmit at least one of a BCH or a SIB1 based on the narrowband communication frame structure or the TDD frame structure configuration. The apparatus may transmit a PSS, an SSS, and at least one of a BCH or an SIB1 using the narrowband TDD frame structure determined for the narrowband communications. In one aspect, a carrier used for transmitting the BCH and/or the SIB may be different than a carrier used to transmit one or more of the PSS or the SSS. In another aspect, a narrowband carrier used for transmitting the BCH may be different than a narrowband carrier used to transmit one or more of the PSS or the SSS.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method may include determining symbol level scheduling for symbols allocated to a plurality of user equipments (UEs) within a transmission time interval (TTI); transmitting, in a control channel of the TTI, control information indicating the symbol level scheduling; and communicating, in accordance with the symbol level scheduling, the symbols within the TTI in a plurality of beamformed transmissions. Another method may include receiving, by a UE, control information in a control channel of a TTI; processing the control information to determine a subset of symbols of the TTI allocated to the UE, a symbol length or duration of the subset of the symbols allocated to the UE, and symbol level scheduling for the subset of the symbols within the TTI; and receiving the subset of the symbols based on the control information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate creating antenna ports to correspond to two or more groups of user equipment. The systems and methods can organize two or more groups of user equipment and signal to each of the two or more groups a respective antenna port. The systems and methods can further communicate mapping information, a reference signal, or delay related to a linear combination in order to identify antenna ports. Based on such communicated information, the reference signal can be decoded in order to identify each antenna port.
