    Abstract: Techniques are described for configuring wireless service for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications network in which the UE may be served over one or more of multiple available cells. Wireless service for the UE may be configured based on parameters associated with each of the multiple cells, such as, for example, a primary/secondary cell designation of a cell, whether the cell operates using a licensed or an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, a radio access technology associated with a cell, and/or an operating frequency band of a cell. Based on the parameters for each cell, one or more cell configurations for serving the UE may be provided. The cell configurations may identify, for example, a set of rules that control how much and/or what type of traffic is sent on different cells.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may determine whether a source carrier for an uplink grant is in licensed or unlicensed spectrum and then select a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for accessing a shared spectrum channel. For example, the device may select one range parameter (e.g., q value) for a backoff procedure of a clear channel assessment (CCA) if the source carrier is in unlicensed spectrum, and a different (e.g., larger) range parameter if the source carrier is in licensed spectrum. In some cases, the device may operate in a stand-alone operating mode and the source carrier may be identified based on the mode. In some cases, the device may receive signaling that indicates a carrier configuration, and may select the LBT procedure based on whether a carrier configured on unlicensed spectrum is self-scheduled or cross-carrier scheduled.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless system utilizing one or more time-division duplexing (TDD) configured carriers may utilize a dual transmission time interval (TTI) structure (e.g., at the subframe level and symbol-level). The symbol level TTIs may be referred to as low latency (LL) TTIs, and may be organized within LL subframes. A LL subframe may be a subframe that is scheduled for transmissions in one direction (e.g., uplink or downlink, according to a TDD configuration) and may include multiple LL symbols scheduled for both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) transmissions. Guard periods may be scheduled between adjacent LL symbols that have opposite directions of transmission to enable user equipment (UEs) to transition from receiving mode to transmit mode (or vice versa). The LL subframes may be transparent to receiving devices that do not support LL operations.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes generating uplink control information at a wireless device, and transmitting the uplink control information over an interlace of a component carrier of an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The interlace includes a plurality of non-contiguous concurrent resource blocks in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, and at least two resource blocks in the interlace include different portions of the uplink control information. A second method includes generating uplink control information at a wireless device, and transmitting the uplink control information over an uplink control channel of an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. Resources of the uplink control channel are divided into a plurality of discrete dimensions and the uplink control information of the wireless device is transmitted over a number of the discrete dimensions allocated to the uplink control information of the wireless device.
