Abstract: In an embodiment, an AP executes a CCA protocol to determine whether to begin transmission within a DMTC window of a radio frame having first and second blocks of subframes. The AP transmits a multi-subframe DRS within the DRS subframes that is scrambled in accordance with a CSI-RS scrambling rule that determines how the second DRS subframe is to be scrambled based on whether the first DRS subframe is included among the first block of subframes or the second block of subframes. At least one UE monitors the DMTC window, and descrambles the CSI-RSs in the multi-DRS subframe based on a CSI-RS descrambling rule that determines how the second DRS subframe is to be descrambled based on whether the first DRS subframe is included among the first block of subframes or the second block of subframes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may identify a first synchronization sequence and generate a second synchronization sequence based at least in part on the first synchronization sequence. The base station may map the first synchronization sequence to a first resource block of a synchronization channel associated with a first frequency sub-band of a shared radio frequency spectrum band and the second synchronization sequence to a second resource block associated with a second frequency sub-band of the synchronization channel. The base station may then transmit the first synchronization sequence and the second synchronization sequence concurrently over the synchronization channel using the first resource block and the second resource block according to the mapping. In some cases, the second synchronization may be generated by applying a first phase shift to the first synchronization sequence.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive data transmissions on primary cell and transmit feedback for the data transmissions on a secondary cell, where carriers on the secondary cell have a subcarrier spacing that is greater than the subcarrier spacing of carriers on the primary cell. The UE may perform a self-contained transmission by receiving data and transmitting feedback within a single transmission opportunity. The base station may schedule the UE for only downlink transmissions in the primary cell, removing uplink transmission resources and guard periods from slots of primary cell carriers. The UE may transmit other information on the high band cell as well, such as a channel quality indicator or scheduling requests. The base station may apply rate adjustments for downlink transmission in the next slot of a primary cell carrier.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, multiple transmission/reception points (TRPs) may perform a joint transmission to a user equipment (UE) such that the UE may rely on demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) from the TRPs for channel estimation and data demodulation to receive the joint transmission. When TRP transmissions are punctured, which may introduce reception errors at a receiving UE, one or more TRPs may transmit unique DMRSs such that each TRP transmits a DMRS that is unique to the transmitting TRP, transmit DMRSs that are unique to punctured resource elements (REs), or determine to refrain from transmitting on punctured REs. In some cases, TRPs may transmit preemption indications (PIs) to a UE, where the PIs may indicate punctured (e.g., or not utilized) REs to allow the UE to utilize a unique DMRS for channel estimation or to ignore the punctured REs.

Abstract: Various aspects of utilizing narrowband internet of things (NB IOT) communication are still under development. According to an aspect of the disclosure, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) for wireless communication via narrowband internet of things (NB IOT) in an unlicensed spectrum using frequency hopping and digital modulation. The UE performs a synchronization with a base station via at least one of a licensed spectrum or the unlicensed spectrum. The UE communicates with the base station based on the synchronization.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for enhancing uplink grant-free transmissions and/or downlink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmissions for uplink ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) are described. One technique includes receiving a first configuration for a first grant-free communication and a second configuration for at least one second grant-free communication. Grant-free communications are performed based on at least one of the first configuration or the second configuration.

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 communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a grant scheduling an acknowledgement feedback transmission for the grant. The UE may identify, based at least in part on a first timing associated with the grant, a second timing associated with the acknowledgment feedback transmission, or a combination thereof, a duration for a channel clearance procedure to be performed before transmitting the acknowledgement feedback transmission. The UE may perform the channel clearance procedure using the identified duration. The UE may transmit the acknowledgement feedback transmission based at least in part on a result of the channel clearance procedure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with a set of parameters to determine a valid timing advance (TA) to transmit data using preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) during an idle or inactive mode. In some cases, the parameters are one or more TA commands and one or more conditions associated with each TA command. The UE may identify the current condition of the UE and determine whether the current condition of the UE matches one of indicated conditions. The UE may select a TA command based on finding a match and use the TA command to transmit an uplink PUR transmission. Additionally or alternatively, the parameters may be neural network parameters that indicate a neural network model that the UE may use to determine a TA command associated with a valid TA based on the current condition of the UE.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes detecting a first reference signal received from a user equipment (UE) in a reference scheduled transmission burst including a plurality of contiguous transmission time intervals (TTIs) received over a shared radio frequency spectrum band; identifying a reference TTI in which the first reference signal is received; determining a contention window size usable by the UE to contend for access to the shared radio frequency spectrum band; and transmitting an indication of the determined contention window size to the UE.
