Abstract:
An enhanced NodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of communicating using Long Term Evolution (LTE) licensed and unlicensed bands are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit a trigger signal to the UE. The trigger signal may be transmitted in the LTE unlicensed or licensed band and inform the UE of transmission of a reference signal from the eNB to the UE in the unlicensed band. The trigger signal may correspond to a single reference signal transmission or multiple periodic or consecutive reference signal transmissions. The trigger signal or a separate trigger signal may be used to inform the UE of a data transmission. The trigger signal may be transmitted at any point prior to or in the same subframe as the reference signal and the reference signal may be transmitted before, after or in the same subframe as the data.
