Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station in a wireless communications system. The base station may transmit signaling to the UE over a broadcast channel. The base station may transmit control signaling to the UE that indicates a broadcast root key. The UE may identify the broadcast root key for a wireless network corresponding to the base station. The base station may transmit an encrypted broadcast transmission. The UE may receive the encrypted broadcast transmission from the base station, and the UE may decrypt the encrypted broadcast transmission to obtain broadcast information based on a cell-specific key derived from the broadcast root key.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for receive beam selection for measuring a reference radio frequency (RF) signal. In an aspect, a first node determines a type of measurement to be performed on the reference RF signal, selects a receive beam based on the type of measurement to be performed on the reference RF signal, generates the selected receive beam, receives, from a second node, using the generated receive beam, the reference RF signal transmitted on a wireless channel, and performs one or more measurements on the received reference RF signal according to the type of the measurement to be performed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the pairing of an inter-band carrier with a time division duplex (TDD) carrier. If the paired band is a frequency division duplex (FDD) band, then base stations and mobile devices may transmit and receive additional thin control channels on FDD carriers to enable full duplex operations. If the paired band is a TDD band, then a conjugate or inverse carrier may be used such that full duplex, or a close approximation thereto, is achieved. With the introduction of a paired channel and fast control channels, rapid uplink/downlink switching may be achieved for TDD carriers efficiently and effectively. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to the reduction in a probability of collision for grant-less transmissions from internet of everything (IOE) devices while not increasing search complexity at a base station are disclosed. An IOE device randomly selects a first access resource from a common pool that the base station searches to initiate a transmission. If a metric associated with the data transmission is predicted to exceed a threshold, the IOE device also requests a second access resource from a reserved access pool from the base station, that the base station does not search. The IOE includes the request in the data transmission. The base station and the IOE device switch to the second access resource after the base station identifies an available resource from the reserved access pool and the IOE device completes the data transmission using the second access resource.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing allocations and signaling for different types of communications within a wireless communication system. An eNB and/or a UE may be configured to operate within the wireless communication system using two or more different types of communications. The different types of communications may differ, for example, based on round trip time (RTT) between transmission and acknowledgment of receipt of the transmission, a transmission time interval (TTI) for wireless transmissions, and/or duty cycle timing of wireless transmissions. Reserved resources within a system bandwidth may be identified for a first type of communications, and all or a portion of remaining resources within the system bandwidth may be allocated for other communications that may differ from the first type of communications based on, for example, RTT, TTI, and/or duty cycle timing.

Abstract: Methods for detecting and responding to detecting a non-benign network entity (e.g., jammer, etc.) that targets physical layer channels in a communication network. A wireless device may receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) from a network entity, determine radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) for the received PDCCH, determine a signal to noise ratio (SNR) for the DMRS, determine whether the RSSI satisfies a first threshold, and determine whether the DMRS SNR satisfies a second threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. According to one or more aspects, a device, such as a user equipment (UE), may receive downlink control information, and may determine assignment information for processing batch-based feedback based on the downlink control information. The UE may determine the batch-based feedback for a batch of downlink transmissions (for example, transmissions associated with packets of information) that are configured to be processed together by the UE. The UE may receive a downlink transmission from the base station, and may construct a codebook based on assignment information and the downlink transmission. In some examples, the UE may determine acknowledgment feedback for the downlink transmission based on the codebook. The UE may transmit the acknowledgment feedback to the base station.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes receiving from a base station an indication of a set of one or more uplink interlaces of an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band allocated for a sounding reference signal, and transmitting the sounding reference signal for a user equipment (UE) over the indicated set of one or more uplink interlaces of the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A second method includes receiving an indication of an interlace of an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band allocated for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, and transmitting a scheduling request and a buffer status report over the indicated interlace.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for wireless communications. A first method includes transmitting a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communications signal to a wireless node in a licensed spectrum, and transmitting, concurrently with the transmission of the first OFDMA communications signal, a second OFDMA communications signal to the wireless node in an unlicensed spectrum. A second method includes receiving a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communications signal from a wireless node in a licensed spectrum, and receiving, concurrently with the reception of the first OFDMA communications signal, a second OFDMA communication signal from the wireless node in an unlicensed spectrum. A third method includes generating a periodic gating interval for a cellular downlink in an unlicensed spectrum, and synchronizing at least one boundary of the periodic gating interval with at least one boundary of a periodic frame structure associated with a primary component carrier of the cellular downlink.
