Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include inserting, in a first transmission using a first radio access technology (RAT), a channel occupancy identifier for a second transmission using a second RAT. The first method may also include transmitting the first transmission having the channel occupancy identifier over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A second method may include receiving, at a receiver operated using a first RAT, a channel occupancy identifier for a transmission using a second RAT. The channel occupancy identifier may be received over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The second method may also include decoding the channel occupancy identifier to identify a backoff period, and refraining from accessing the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band using the first RAT based at least in part on the identified backoff period.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication is presented. The method includes determining whether decoding candidates for enhanced control channel resource sets overlap. The method further includes determining uplink resources based on a predefined rule when the decoding candidates overlap.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication within and for user equipment (UE), including lower-complexity devices, which may have intermittent communication needs, low data rates, hard-to-reach locations, and the like. Devices within a wireless communication system may utilize transmission time interval (TTI) bundling to identify and employ various encoding schemes according to particular channel, transmission, and/or environmental conditions. Devices may also monitor and/or decode control-based transmission, control-less transmission, or both. In some examples, devices may monitor various channels based on a TTI bundling length. Some or any of these techniques may allow for coverage enhancement of UEs, including low-complexity UEs.

Abstract:
Techniques for transmitting and receiving wireless communications over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band are disclosed, including techniques for transmitting and receiving service information blocks over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, techniques for gaining access to the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band by performing extended clear channel assessments (eCCAs), techniques for transmitting and receiving synchronization signals and reference signals over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, techniques for communicating locations of reference signals, and techniques for communicating availability of certain resources to be combined across multiple different transmissions.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus of a first cell communicates with a second cell in relation to a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission of control information by the second cell and data by the first cell to a user equipment (UE) in a range expanded region of the first cell, determines a desired transmission power level for an uplink transmission to the first cell by the UE, and provides the desired transmission power level for the uplink transmission to the second cell.
Abstract:
UE-assisted management of advanced radio link feature in a wireless communication network may include a network entity determining that a mobile entity is capable of communicating with one or more base stations using a set of radio link configurations, receiving a request from the mobile entity to restrict use of at least one of the radio link configurations, and restricting use of the at least one of the radio link configurations for communicating with the mobile entity, based on the request. The request may indicate a reason for the restriction, and the network entity may determine whether to restrict based on the reason. Once a radio link configuration is restricted, it may similarly be unrestricted based on a subsequent UE request, or based on expiration of a time period.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication is provided which includes determining a first cell identification (ID) for scrambling a first reference signal of a first enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) and determining a second cell ID for scrambling a second reference signal of a second EPDCCH. The second cell ID is based at least in part on the first cell ID. The first reference signal and the second reference signal are mapped to a same set of resources. The method also includes transmitting the first EPDCCH and second EPDCCH.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include transmitting a reference signal from an access point over a shared spectrum to a user equipment (UE), and receiving a measurement of the reference signal from the UE. A second method may include receiving at a UE over a shared spectrum a reference signal from an access point, and transmitting a measurement of the reference signal to the access point. In each of the first and second methods, the measurement may indicate interference with the shared spectrum from outside of a clear channel assessment (CCA) range of the access point. A third method may include receiving a plurality of reference signal measurements, where each reference signal measurement corresponds to one of a plurality of access points and indicates interference with a shared spectrum from outside of a CCA range of the corresponding access point, and performing channel selection for the plurality of access points based at least in part on the received reference signal measurements.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) related signaling in a wireless communication system. In an aspect, a method for wireless communication is provided which includes receiving a signal comprising a reference signal (RS). The RS is associated with a specific pseudo-noise (PN) sequence. The method further includes performing blind decoding of the RS using a plurality of PN sequences and determining, based on results of the blind decoding, a UE-specific RS pattern from a plurality of UE-specific RS patterns.
