    Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes identifying, by a first node configured for operation in a synchronous communication mode, a current synchronization boundary according to a common clock of the synchronous communication mode. The method further includes performing, by the first node, a common clock-triggered (CCT) listen before talk (LBT) procedure of a shared communication channel during a periodic quiet interval at the current synchronization boundary. The method further includes establishing, by the first node, in response to success of the CCT LBT procedure, a channel occupancy time (COT) configured to end at a subsequent synchronization boundary and transmitting, by the first node, data on the shared communication channel during the COT.

    Abstract: Improvements to asynchronous spatial listen before talk (LBT) procedures are disclosed. In a shared spectrum network spatial LBT procedures are used for directionally targeting the channel reservation process. Prior to transmitting channel reservation signaling, the transmitter and receiver determine an effective interference considering available multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) configuration information. When the effective interference exceeds a predefined threshold, the node may without transmission of its channel reservation signal. Otherwise, when the effective interference remains within the threshold, each node's transmitted channel reservation signal may also identify at least a beamforming matrix either as payload or used to precede the node's channel reservation signal.

    Abstract: Enhanced measurements for new radio-unlicensed (NR-U) operations are disclosed. Compatible user equipments (UEs) may be configured to perform virtual full listen before talk (LBT) procedures for measurement purposes. The UEs may then compile LBT statistics derived from the virtual LBT procedures and include such statistics in an enhanced measurement report the their serving base stations. The LBT statistics provide a more direct and detailed reflection of the usage of a shared communication channel. Such UEs may further be configured to gather additional LBT statistics from transmission-based LBT procedures in addition to the virtual LBT procedures. The additional direct and detailed usage of a shared channel may then be provided in the enhanced measurement reports in accordance with described aspects.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support chained sidelink transmissions. A transmitting user equipment (UE) may send, to a receiving UE, sidelink control information (SCI) that reserves resources for transmission from the transmitting UE as well as reserves resources for a response transmission from the receiving UE. The receiving UE may respond with a transmission using the resources that were reserved in the SCI and without sending its own SCI to reserve resources for the response. The latency between the transmitting UE sending the first transmission and receiving a response from the receiving UE may be reduced, because the transmitting UE reserved the resources for itself and the receiving UE with the same SCI.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to use for transmitting a downlink signal to a user equipment (UE) on a shared radio frequency spectrum band. The LBT procedure may be a group LBT procedure associated with a first set of contention window durations or an individual listen-before talk procedure associated with a second set of contention window durations. The base station may determine a contention window duration corresponding to the identified LBT procedure, perform the identified LBT procedure using the determined contention window duration, and transmit the downlink signal to the UE based on the performed LBT procedure.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station of a first network operator (OP) may determine a priority for the first OP for a transmission opportunity of a shared or unlicensed channel. The priority may be lower than a priority of a second OP for the transmission opportunity. Base station may transmit a tentative grant to a user equipment (UE) of the first OP scheduling transmissions over resources of the transmission opportunity. The transmitting device of the first OP may monitor a contention window for reservation signals communicated by devices of the second OP. Based on the monitoring and the tentative grant, the transmitting device of the first OP may perform the transmission over the resources of the shared or unlicensed channel.
