    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses to enable a user equipment (UE) and a base station to improve reception of a random access response (RAR) by the UE in an unlicensed spectrum. A network may define a procedure for calculating a random access radio network temporary identifier (RA-RNTI) specific to unlicensed spectrum based on an extended RAR window. The calculation procedure may allow UEs transmitting in the window to calculate a unique RA-RNTI and identify a RAR addressed to the UE using the unique RA-RNTI. Additionally, or alternatively, a base station may transmit a RAR including timing information associated with a corresponding random access request. Accordingly, a UE may receive the RAR and compare the timing information with its own random access request in order to determine whether the RAR is addressed to the UE. Additionally, a UE may monitor a secondary cell or a sub-band for the RAR.

    Abstract: Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to mechanisms to aid a user equipment (UE) in determining the channel access priority (CAPC) to use for a data radio bearer (DRB) on sidelink that includes multiple quality of service (QoS) flows for a transmission. The UE may receive an indication from a base station (BS) regarding what CAPC to use, or it may itself determine the CAPC based on a rule. The UE may map the plurality of QoS flows to the DRB and transmit the QoS flows using the DRB and the selected CAPC.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a bandwidth part (BWP) to switch to after identifying consistent uplink listen-before-talk (LBT) failures on a first BWP based on parameters indicated by a base station. For example, the base station may transmit a switching parameter to the UE that the UE then uses to switch to a second BWP based on identifying the consistent uplink LBT failures on the first BWP. Subsequently, after selecting the second BWP, the UE may attempt to use the second BWP for uplink transmissions (e.g., after performing a random access procedure). Additionally, the UE may indicate the consistent uplink LBT failures to a base station associated with the failed BWP based on a type of cell that is using that failed BWP.

    Abstract: Random access channel access and validity procedures are disclosed. In one aspect, the medium access control (MAC) indications multiple random access occasions (ROs) to user equipments (UEs) for random access transmissions. In such aspect, random access failure would only be declared if listen before talk (LBT) procedures for the random access transmission fail on all of the ROs indicated by the MAC layer. Similarly, in additional aspects, a UE will not apply a backoff value for any LBT failures for random access attempts that occur within an LBT time window. In further aspects, a UE may determine the validity of ROs that overlap with a discovery reference signal measurement timing configuration (DMTC) window. In such aspects, the UE may not use overlapping ROs or may determine a portion of the DMTC window that is not used for base station transmissions and declare the overlapping ROs with the unused portion valid.

    Abstract: Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to mechanisms to aid a user equipment in determining the channel access priority (CAPC) to use for a data radio bearer (DRB) on the response link, such as uplink (UL), that includes multiple quality of service (QoS) flows for an UL transmission (such as for a configured grant UL transmission). The UE may receive a plurality of QoS flows in a common DRB from a base station. The UE may apply a rule to select a CAPC to apply for all QoS flows in the common DRB on an UL transmission. This rule may alternatively include the base station making the selection of the CAPC to apply and informing the UE of the selected CAPC for implementation. The UE may then apply the selected CAPC to the UL transmission.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include receiving, from a base station over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, a broadcast message including system information, the system information indicating a LBT mode of the base station and a set of random access channel resources associated with a fixed frame period, monitoring a wireless channel of the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band during the fixed frame period for control information from the base station based on the indicated LBT mode, determining, based on the monitoring, that the base station has access to the wireless channel during the fixed frame period, and performing, based on the determining, a random access channel transmission during the fixed frame period using the set of random access channel resources.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with a scheduling scheme to align the retransmission of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) uplink messages with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. Techniques for scheduling the retransmission of uplink messages on resources designated for SPS transmission, as opposed to resources not designated for SPS transmission, are also described. Aspects of the disclosure also include using incremental redundancy HARQ feedback to reduce packet loss at a receiver. In some cases, a base station receiving an uplink message may decode the message using multiple processes based on different assumptions regarding the redundancy version ID (RVID) of the uplink message.
