    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station, a resource allocation indicator corresponding to a total number of resource elements to allocate for uplink control information within a resource allocation of a shared data channel. The UE may determine anchor resources within the resource allocation, and determine a plurality of transmission parameters for an autonomous uplink transmission based on the total number of resource elements. The UE may transmit, to the base station, the uplink control information within the anchor resources to indicate the plurality of transmission parameters for the autonomous uplink transmission.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may multiplex reference signal (RS) transmissions for different antenna ports over a set of resource elements using a code division multiplexing (CDM) group spreading in a time dimension and a frequency dimension. The base station may transmit the RS transmissions over the set of resource elements based at least in part on the multiplexing to a user equipment (UE). The UE may demultiplex the RS transmissions based at least in part on a CDM group and may select at least one of the time dimension or the frequency dimension over which to demultiplex the RS transmissions based on a determination or other information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A size of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgment (ACK) codebook may be determined and indicated when the HARQ-ACK codebook is transmitted. For example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a number of information bits within a HARQ-ACK codebook, and may further indicate a size of the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the number of information bits. The UE may transmit the indication of the size of the HARQ-ACK codebook on the same or different time/frequency resources as the HARQ-ACK codebook, using a particular field, using a different uplink channels, or the like. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may indicate the size of the HARQ-ACK codebook using a particular pattern or sequence of reference signals associated with the channel used to carry the HARQ-ACK codebook.

    Abstract: A universal Channel Reservation Signal (CRS) is transmitted by a wireless network node on a frequency channel upon successful Clear Channel Assessment (CCA). The channel reservation signal includes a preamble that has a predetermined pattern, a message having a same short period waveform as the preamble, and a synchronization field (SYNC) disposed between the preamble and the message. The message is encoded to prevent any and all occurrences therein of at least one of the predetermined pattern or a combination of the predetermined pattern and at least part of the SYNC. The universal CRS can be transmitted and successfully received and processed by both NR-SS devices and devices of at least one other wireless communication protocol having a different numerology, such as WiFi. Thus, information can be shared and used to avoid transmitting or to reduce or avoid collisions and interference between devices of different RATs.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a precoded reference signal to prevent interference with an incoming signal from a base station. The UE may determine a precoder for the reference signal based at least in part on a whitening matrix. In some examples, the UE may determine the precoder based at least in part on the whitening matrix and an effective channel between the base station and the UE. The precoded reference signal may be used by devices in other wireless communications systems to avoid interfering with a signal being received by the UE. In some examples, the UE may alternatively or additionally transmit an indication of the number of additional layers of the link between the UE and the base station that may be nulled out for a second link.

    Abstract: Consideration of contention windows with spatial listen before talk (LBT) operations is discussed. In multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) transmission operations over a shared transmission medium, use of spatial LBT transmissions may be implemented with fairness options and parameters influenced by a condition of the MIMO transmitter, such conditions as the level of MIMO capability or the enablement of polite spatial LBT nulling transmissions. When a MIMO transmitter identifies data for transmission, it may determine a configuration of the medium access contention operation, synchronous or asynchronous content, based on the condition of the MIMO transmitter. The MIMO transmitter may then transmit the data either using spatial LBT transmission or not according to the configuration of the medium access contention operation.

    Abstract: Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) interlacing is disclosed. In a particular implementation, a method of performing wireless communications adjusting, by a user equipment (UE) based on a cyclic prefix (CP) length of a received Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) configuration, CP length of one or more uplink channels to match the CP length of the PRACH configuration. The method additionally includes transmitting, by the UE, the one or more uplink channels interlaced with a PRACH channel that corresponds to the PRACH configuration. The PRACH channel and the one or more uplink channels are aligned.

    Abstract: Systems and methods herein determine whether an uplink RACH request and/or an uplink autonomous message will be sent using Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM), Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM), or another waveform. The determinations may be based on carrier frequencies, path loss measurements, preconfigurations, and/or more. Further, the systems and methods may send the uplink using time and/or frequency resources that correspond to the DFT-S-OFMD waveform, CP-OFDM waveform, or other waveform. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Phase compensation in a new radio (NR) shared spectrum (NR-SS) coordinated multipoint (CoMP) environment is discussed. A base station may synchronize the phase between one or more additional base stations in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) group serving one or more user equipments (UEs). This first synchronizing is performed prior to a current transmission opportunity between the CoMP group and the UEs. During transmission, a UE will sent a phase compensation reference signal (PCRS) to help with adjusting a phase drift that exceeds a predetermined threshold. The PCRS may be triggered by a signal from the base station or may be sent routinely by the UE. The UEs will transmit PCRS after each subframe, which the base stations use to adjust the phase.
