Abstract: Aligned listen before talk (LBT) gaps for single operator frame-based equipment (FBE) mode new radio (NR) shared spectrum (NR-SS) is disclosed. Within the FBE mode network, the base station determines a plurality of potential transmission bursts within a fixed frame period. The base station may then reserve a plurality of LBT gaps prior to the starting position of each such transmission burst. The base station communicates the location of each of the LBT gaps to all neighboring network entities and contends for access to the fixed frame period at the beginning of the frame regardless of whether it has data for transmission during the frame. Each neighboring base station that receives the LBT gaps locations will use the same locations in order to align the LBT gaps over the FBE mode network.

Abstract: Some wireless communications systems may support different types of communications between base stations and user equipment (UEs), such as mobile broadband (MBB) communications and low latency communications. Low latency communications may be associated with bursty and unpredictable transmissions. As described herein, to facilitate low latency communications and limit the latency associated with waiting on appropriate resources for transmitting low latency data, a base station may schedule downlink low latency transmissions on uplink resources or uplink low latency transmissions on downlink resources. Further, to limit the latency associated with scheduling low latency communications, a base station may be configured with a carrier for transmitting preemption indications (PIs) to one or more UEs to reassign resources for low latency communications. Similarly, in some cases, a UE may be configured with a carrier to transmit scheduling requests (SRs) to request resources for low latency communications.

Abstract: In enhanced licensed assisted access (eLAA), providing several approaches to report the CSI measurement may be desirable to provide flexibility in CSI reporting, especially in aperiodic CSI reporting. Further, a difference in using a licensed carrier and an unlicensed carrier may be considered during communication. In addition, assigning different transmit power usage based on different transmission types may be desired. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives a grant for uplink communication. The UE determines a reporting subframe based on the grant. The UE determines whether to select, as a reference subframe, a triggering subframe in which the grant is received or a subframe before the reporting subframe. The UE transmits, in the reporting subframe, channel state information (CSI) measured in the reference subframe.

Abstract: Techniques for wireless communications over a shared radio frequency spectrum band, may include techniques for transmitting uplink data transmissions using allocated uplink resources. Allocated uplink resources may include an uplink channel comprising a number of allocated interlaces of resource blocks (RBs) for use by a user equipment (UE). An incoming data stream may be processed and data separated into each of the allocated interlaces of RBs for the UE. Such separation may be through demultiplexing the data stream to obtain data for the allocated interlaces of RBs. The demultiplexed data may be mapped onto associated resource elements associated with the allocated interlaces of RBs, and transmitted. Different types of uplink channels, such as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and/or a physical random access channel (PRACH) may be allocated to interlaces of RBs in one or more subframes of a transmitted radio frame.

Abstract: Uplink scheduling for license assisted access (LAA) mode systems is discussed in which a base station transmits a conditional grant to served user equipments (UEs) that include a transmission configuration for uplink transmissions. The transmission configuration includes the parameters necessary for the UE to perform transmissions. Before the beginning of a uplink transmission opportunity, a base station transmits an uplink activation grant over a contention-based shared carrier to the served UEs. The uplink activation grant indicates the transmission opportunity to the UEs and may identify a subset of UEs out of the served UEs that are available for transmission. The base station first secures the channel before transmitting the uplink activation grant. Upon receipt of the uplink activation grant, the UEs determine whether they will perform uplink transmissions and, if so, transmit the uplink data according to the transmission configuration.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. An eNB determines a CCA parameter for use by a UE in performing a CCA procedure for UL transmission and transmits an indication of the CCA parameter to the UE. The UE receives an indication of the CCA parameter for UL transmission from the eNB and performs the CCA procedure for UL transmission using the indicated CCA parameter. The UE may transmit to the eNB prior to receiving the indication of the CCA parameter. The eNB may use the report in determining the CCA parameter for use by the UE.

Abstract: Beam-specific autonomous uplink (AUL) resources may be configured with an associated reference signal for beam management. For example, a base station may configure respective sets of AUL resources that are specific to one or more base station receive beams. These sets of beam-specific AUL resources may be configured to be associated (e.g., quasi co-located (QCL)) with a reference signal, such as a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a synchronization signal burst (SSB), or the like. The base station may periodically transmit the reference signals that are associated with the AUL resources. A user equipment (UE), upon detecting one or more of the reference signals, may identify which set of AUL resources are available for an AUL transmission of uplink data. In such cases, the UE may select a set of AUL resources based on a signal strength of the reference signal associated with that set of AUL resources.

Abstract: Uplink control channel transmission in a shared radio frequency spectrum band may be transmitted using different uplink resources UCI based on a format of uplink control information (UCI) to be transmitted in the uplink control channel transmission. Different time resources, frequency resources, or combinations thereof, for the transmission of UCI by a UE may be provided by a base station and selected by the UE based on a UCI format. The resources to be used for UCI transmission may semi-statically configured, or dynamically indicated to a UE. Uplink transmissions may be configured in interlaces of frequency resources, with each interlace having one or more segments, and a base station may configure different segments for transmission of different format UCI. In some cases, different subframes, or different component carriers, may be configured for different formats of UCI.

Abstract: In the application of TDD and eIMTA to LTE in the unlicensed spectrum, various alterations may be needed to compensate for interference from and the behavior of RATs operating in this range of frequencies. Various UE and base station methods are presented, including modified TDD configurations and UE behaviors to advance operations on unlicensed spectrum. A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided whereby configuration information is conveyed to a UE for communicating on a carrier in the unlicensed spectrum. The configuration information indicates a subframe allocation for at least one frame on the unlicensed carrier. Other aspects are directed to the detection of the transmission, communication of new and modified eIMTA configuration transmissions, and mechanism and behaviors which address unreceived configuration information.
