Abstract: Devices, methods, user equipment (UE), evolved node B (eNB), and storage media are described suitable for coexistence operations for uplink communications on multiple unlicensed carriers. Various embodiments are implemented in LTE systems with license-assisted access (LAA) associated communications. In one embodiment, a UE processes one or more uplink grants from an eNB scheduling transmissions on multiple unlicensed carriers at a first time, and indicating a first channel access procedure. The UE then selects a first unlicensed carrier and performs the first channel access procedure, and performs a second channel access procedure on a second unlicensed carrier of the multiple unlicensed carriers.

Abstract: Techniques for channel state information (CSI) reporting are discussed. One example apparatus at a user equipment can derive, for one or more subframes of a license assisted access (LAA) secondary cell (SCell), one or more channel measurements based on reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or CSI reference signals (CSI-RS)), in those subframes; generate CSI that comprises a channel quality indicator (CQI) based on an average of the one or more channel measurements from multiple subframes comprising a first subframe and a later second subframe, wherein each orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a second slot of the first subframe is occupied, wherein each of a first three OFDM symbols of the second subframe are occupied, and wherein each OFDM symbol between the first subframe and the second subframe is occupied; and generate a CSI report that indicates the set of CSI parameters.

Abstract: When performing a contention protocol, such as Listen-Before-Talk (LBT), an Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) node dynamically adapts the ED threshold used by the LTE-LAA node depending on whether other transmission nodes are detected at the frequency components that are to be used by the LTE-LAA node. In one implementation, the ED threshold value may initially be set to a conservative value, and when other transmissions nodes are not detected, the ED threshold value may be set to a more aggressive value. In another implementation, the ED threshold value may initially be set to a more aggressive value, and only when another transmission node is detected, the ED threshold value may be set to a more conservative value. In yet another possible implementation, the ED threshold value and the transmit power may be proportionally modified, for a particular UE, based on a parameter associated with the UE.

Abstract: transmissions outside a transmission opportunity (TxOP) is disclosed. The UE can process an uplink (UL) opportunity received from an eNodeB during a defined transmission opportunity (TxOP). The UL opportunity can schedule UL information to be transmitted from the UE on one or more UL subframes that are outside the defined TxOP. The UE can initiate a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to be performed before the UL information is transmitted from the UE on the one or more UL subframes that are outside the defined TxOP. The UE can process the UL information for transmission to the eNodeB on the one or more UL subframes located outside the defined TxOP.

Abstract: Technology for contention free physical uplink shared control channel (PUSCH) transmission using listen before talk procedure is disclosed. In an example, an apparatus of a user equipment (UE) having circuitry configured to achieves low latency synchronization with an anchor enhanced Node (eNB) by sensing for a predetermined time period if any physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) are idle with the anchor eNB for uplink (UL) synchronization; providing a unique UE identification in a PUSCH transmission; and communicating the PUSCH transmission in one of the idle PUSCH channels for contention free communication with the anchor eNB for uplink synchronization.

Abstract: Described are mechanisms and methods for supporting Channel State Information (CSI) measurement and reporting, and for supporting Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement and reporting, under License Assisted Access (LAA) with dynamic power sharing. An eNB may comprise one or more processors to generate a maximum number of Component Carriers (CCs) and a number of active CCs to a UE. The eNB may then be operable to process a reported quality rating from the UE and generate a scaled quality rating based upon the reported quality rating, the maximum number of CCs, and the number of active CCs. A UE may comprise one or more processors to process a reference signal transmission from an eNB, to generate an unfiltered reference signal transmission based upon the reference signal transmission, and to calculate a quality rating based upon the unfiltered reference signal transmission.

Abstract: A number of embodiments can describe the operation of a UE in an unlicensed spectrum. Operating a UE in an unlicensed spectrum can include processing a PDCCH transmission provided by an eNodeB to identify a resource for a transmission of the SR message and based on the resource identified in the PDCCH, generating a PUCCH transmission comprising the SR message for the eNodeB.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE). The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to encode a Non-scheduled Physical Uplink Control Channel (N-PUCCH) in an Uplink (UL) burst transmission, and to encode a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in the UL burst transmission. The second circuitry may be operable to initiate the UL burst transmission subject to a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) protocol on a channel of the wireless network. The UL burst transmission may be initiated without a UL grant received from the eNB.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to process scheduled uplink (UL) transmissions is disclosed. The UE can process one or more uplink (UL) grants received from an eNodeB on a downlink (DL) subframe in a first transmission opportunity (TxOP). The UE can determine, based on the one or more UL grants, one or more UL subframes in at least one subsequent TxOP for an UL transmission from the UE. The UE can process the UL transmission for communication on the one or more UL subframes in the at least one subsequent TxOP.
