    Abstract: Channel clearance using a shared radio frequency spectrum band may be performed for both a base station and a user equipment (UE). A base station may perform a listen before talk (LBT) procedure and verify one or more channels in a shared radio frequency spectrum band are available for transmissions and, if the LBT procedure is successful, transmit a pre-grant transmission to one or more UEs. The UEs may perform an LBT procedure for channel(s) indicated in the pre-grant transmission. If the UE LBT procedure passes, the UE may transmit a channel clearance signal, and may transmit a feedback communication responsive to the pre-grant transmission. The feedback communication may indicate, for example, the pre-grant transmission was received and which of the one or more channels are available based on the LBT procedure. The base station may receive the feedback communication and initiate transmissions to the UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method may include determining symbol level scheduling for symbols allocated to a plurality of user equipments (UEs) within a transmission time interval (TTI); transmitting, in a control channel of the TTI, control information indicating the symbol level scheduling; and communicating, in accordance with the symbol level scheduling, the symbols within the TTI in a plurality of beamformed transmissions. Another method may include receiving, by a UE, control information in a control channel of a TTI; processing the control information to determine a subset of symbols of the TTI allocated to the UE, a symbol length or duration of the subset of the symbols allocated to the UE, and symbol level scheduling for the subset of the symbols within the TTI; and receiving the subset of the symbols based on the control information.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to reservation signal transmission and detection for spectrum sharing are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a reservation request (RRQ) signal to reserve a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a shared spectrum, wherein the shared spectrum is shared by a plurality of network operating entities, and wherein the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device are associated with a first network operating entity of the plurality of network operating entities. The first wireless communication device transmits a reservation response (RRS) signal indicating an interference tolerance level of the first wireless communication device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. Wireless devices may exchange data using Medium Access Control (MAC) layer units known as transport blocks which may include a number of code blocks (CBs). A receiving device may attempt to decode each CB and send acknowledgement (ACK) and negative-acknowledgment (NACK) feedback to the transmitting device based on the whether each CB was successfully decoded. The receiving device may determine a format from two or more available formats for transmitting the ACK/NACK feedback. The format for the ACK/NACK feedback may be determined based at least in part on a number of CBs received and a number of CBs that have a NACK feedback. ACK/NACK feedback may be provided on an individual CB basis, or for bundles of CBs. The transmitting device may perform blind decoding of the received feedback to determine the ACK/NACK format and CBs that have NACK feedback.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to considering channel variations for medium sharing in a spatial domain are provided. A first wireless communication device transmits one or more reservation response signals indicating spatial channel information in response to a reservation request for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a frequency spectrum. The first wireless communication device receives, from a second wireless communication device, a communication signal from a first spatial subspace during the TXOP based on the reservation request. In one embodiment, the first wireless communication device may repeat a transmission of the reservation response signal after transmitting a portion of the communication signal. In another embodiment, the first wireless communication device may include a channel variation parameter in the reservation response signal.
