    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (eMBMS) utilizing enhanced component carriers (eCCs). A wireless system may send unicast data using resources allocated for multicast transmissions (e.g., eMBMS transmissions). The presence of unicast data in a transmission time interval (TTI) scheduled for multicast transmission may be indicated by a control region within the TTI. A UE may monitor the control region to identify the presence of unicast information. A TTI scheduled for multicast transmission may also include reference signals to aid in the demodulation of multicast or unicast data. In some cases, the reference signals may be front-loaded at the beginning or embedded within the TTI. The embedded reference signals may be configured based on the type of data carried by the TTI scheduled for multicast transmission, or by length of the cyclic prefix used by the TTI scheduled for multicast transmission.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for a system that supports wireless communication with a first set of devices using a first OFDM symbol duration associated with a first tone spacing (i.e., a first physical layer (PHY) configuration) and second set of devices using a PHY configuration associated with a second tone spacing. A base station may transmit a set of discovery reference signals (DRS) in a narrowband region of a primary channel of a carrier. The DRS may have the first PHY configuration and a secondary channel of the carrier may support communications using the second PHY configuration. The base station may transmit a first system information (SI) message for one set of devices using the first PHY configuration, and it may transmit a second SI message for another set of devices using the second PHY configuration.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to determining scheduling and transmission timeline for communicating in a shared communication medium are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, scheduling information during a first time period of a first transmission opportunity (TXOP) of a first network operating entity in a shared communication medium, the scheduling information indicating an offset time period relative to the first time period. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, a communication signal during a second TXOP subsequent to the first TXOP based on the offset time period.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may establish a transmission gap between downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) transmissions on a shared radio frequency (RF) spectrum band using time division duplex (TDD). The gap length may be based at least in part on a maximum allowed length of a filler signal corresponding to a coverage area of the base station. To reserve the shared band, a user equipment (UE) may communicate the filler signal for a length of time that is based at least in part on the maximum allowed length and a geographic distance between the UE and the base station. UEs farther from the base station transmit the filler signal of shorter lengths before sending an UL transmission, so that the UL transmissions from different UEs arrive at the same time at the base station regardless of the geographic distance between the UEs.

    Abstract: Quasi-colocation (QCL) for listen before talk (LBT) procedures is disclosed. A base station having a plurality of antennas may identify one or more groups of QCL antennas. Various aspects provide for different rules defining the QCL relationship, such as base on interference experienced by the antennas, a physical or logical connection of the antennas and LBT coupling, or synchronization. QCL may further be determined across multiple shared channels, such as based on frequency separation or frequency band of the channels. Once grouped as QCL, the base station performs the LBT procedure to reserve access to the one or more shared communication channels. If the LBT is successful, the base station may then transmit a channel reservation preamble on the shared communication channels in response.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to autonomous uplink transmission in a shared spectrum are provided. A first wireless communication device identifies a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a shared spectrum shared by the plurality of network operating entities. The first wireless communication device is associated with a first network operating entity of the plurality of network operating entities. The first wireless communication device identifies a resource in the TXOP designated for autonomous communication. The first wireless communication device communicates autonomous data with a second wireless communication device associated with the first network operating entity during the TXOP using the resource.
