    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may receive a clear channel assessment trigger from a second wireless device, the clear channel assessment trigger associated with a data transmission by the second wireless device. The first wireless device may transmit, based at least in part on a result of a first clear channel assessment procedure, feedback information for the clear channel assessment trigger. The first wireless device may receive the data transmission based at least in part on the feedback information for the first clear channel assessment procedure. The first wireless device may transmit, based at least in part on a result of a second clear channel assessment procedure, feedback information for the data transmission, wherein the first clear channel assessment procedure has a first duration that is longer than a second duration for the second clear channel assessment procedure.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Aspects of the disclosure describe narrow beam-based channel access that enables a device to communicate in a shared radio frequency spectrum band without performing channel access procedures. Specifically, aspects of the disclosure describe techniques for defining one or more directional beams as a narrow beam, where the relative narrowness of the beam may be determined in the context of interference (e.g., as opposed to being defined from a geometric perspective). For example, a particular beam may be determined to be a narrow beam, and therefore associated with communications in shared radio frequency spectrum bands without channel access procedures, based on one or more metrics and a number of spatial streams associated with the beam. A device may use such narrow beams for communications without channel access procedures in shared radio frequency spectrum bands.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a gap period following a downlink portion of a time division duplexing (TDD) frame. The UE may selectively perform, based at least in part on the gap period, a clear channel assessment (CCA) on a channel of a radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may transmit at least one of a sounding reference signal (SRS) or a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble in a set of initial symbols of an uplink portion of the TDD frame following the gap period, wherein the SRS or PRACH preamble is frequency-domain multiplexed during the set of initial symbols with one or more of: a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), an uplink data transmission, an uplink control transmission, or a random access transmission.
