Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for transmitting additional information over a radio access network are described. A method of wireless communication includes aligning a discontinuous reception (DRx) schedule for a user equipment (UE) with a plurality of token arrival times, determining, at a time based on a first token arrival time, whether a radio frequency (RF) band is available for communication, and transmitting control information on the RF band when the RF band is available for communication. The token arrival time may correspond to a waking time for the UE defined by the DRx schedule.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. In one method, a clear channel assessment (CCA) may be performed at a base station to determine availability of an unlicensed spectrum. A first waveform may be transmitted to a set of user equipments (UEs) over the unlicensed spectrum when available. The first waveform may indicate a first time period and a second time period during which the base station has channel access over the unlicensed spectrum. A second waveform may be received from one or more UEs responsive to the first waveform. Each second waveform may be received over the unlicensed spectrum during the first time period and may indicate that the respective UE has channel access over the unlicensed spectrum to receive data from the base station during the second time period.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for low latency communications within a wireless communications system. An eNB and/or a UE may be configured to operate within the wireless communications system and may send triggers to initiate communications using a dedicated resource in a wireless communications network that supports transmissions having a first subframe type and a second subframe type, the first subframe type comprising symbols of a first duration and the second subframe type comprising symbols of a second duration that is shorter than the first duration. Communications may be initiated by transmitting a trigger from the UE or eNB using the dedicated resource, and initiating communications following the trigger. The duration of time between the trigger and initiating communications can be significantly shorter than the time to initiate communications using legacy LTE communications.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described in which an unlicensed spectrum is used for Long Term Evolution (LTE) communications. One method includes performing a clear channel assessment (CCA) for an unlicensed spectrum in a current gating interval to determine whether the unlicensed spectrum is available for a transmission in a next transmission interval, and gating OFF the transmission in the unlicensed spectrum for the next transmission interval when the determination is that the unlicensed spectrum is unavailable.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network controller may determine a first set of spreading sequences and a second set of spreading sequences for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communication, wherein the first set of spreading sequences is different than the second set of spreading sequences; and configure a first cell to use the first set of spreading sequences and a second cell to use the second set of spreading sequences; or configure the first set of spreading sequences to be used for first user equipment associated with a cell center of the first cell and the second set of spreading sequences to be used for second user equipment associated with a cell edge of the first cell or the second cell. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support pairwise cross correlation sequences for non-orthogonal multiple access wireless communications. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication of a spreading factor and a number of transmitters in a group of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmitters configured for concurrent transmissions. The UE may determine, based on the spreading factor and the number of transmitters, a first spreading sequence of a set of spreading sequences from a first codebook, the first spreading sequence having a defined value for pairwise cross correlation with each spreading sequence of the plurality of spreading sequences. The first UE may identify data to be transmitted in an uplink transmission, apply the first spreading sequence to the data to be transmitted in the uplink transmission, and transmit the uplink transmission to the base station.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed to enhance the efficiency of available bandwidth between UEs and base stations. A UE transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) to the base station. The base station characterizes the uplink channel based on the SRS received and, using reciprocity, applies the channel characterization for the downlink channel. As part of applying the channel information, the base station forms the beam to the UE based on the uplink channel information obtained from the SRS. The UE may include an array of antennas, each UE transmitting a different SRS that the base station receives and uses to characterize the downlink. Multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) transmit SRS at the same time and frequency allocation (non-orthogonal), but with each sending its own unique SRS. Further, multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) may send their SRS at unique time/frequency allocations (orthogonal).

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes transmitting a first signal to indicate accessing a first channel in a radio frequency spectrum band, and transmitting information with the first signal in the radio frequency spectrum band. A second method includes winning contention to access a radio frequency spectrum band, and after the winning contention to access the radio frequency spectrum band, transmitting a first signal to align a starting point of a second signal with a reference boundary associated with the radio frequency spectrum band. A third method includes winning contention to access a radio frequency spectrum band during a first frame period, the first frame selected from a plurality of different frame periods, and transmitting a signal at a periodicity during one or more subframes of the first frame period for each of the plurality of different frame periods.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide a number of groups of transmitters, each group of transmitters having at least one user equipment (UE), and each group of transmitters having an associated transmission opportunity (TXO) for transmission of a reference signal. A number of UEs may transmit transmissions to a base station according to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques in which two or more UEs concurrently transmit to the base station. Depending upon a number of UEs, a number of groups of transmitters, an overloading factor of NOMA transmissions, a system bandwidth, a time span of the reference signal TXO, or any combination thereof, a binary or non-binary orthogonal cover code (OCC) may be applied to transmitted reference signals, which the base station may use to identify reference signals from particular UEs.
