    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may establish a transmission gap between downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) transmissions on a shared radio frequency (RF) spectrum band using time division duplex (TDD). The gap length may be based at least in part on a maximum allowed length of a filler signal corresponding to a coverage area of the base station. To reserve the shared band, a user equipment (UE) may communicate the filler signal for a length of time that is based at least in part on the maximum allowed length and a geographic distance between the UE and the base station. UEs farther from the base station transmit the filler signal of shorter lengths before sending an UL transmission, so that the UL transmissions from different UEs arrive at the same time at the base station regardless of the geographic distance between the UEs.

    Abstract: A base station may provide both an uplink grant and a downlink grant in a same transmission time interval (TTI), and may provide an indication in the uplink grant that the TTI includes the downlink grant. A user equipment (UE) that receives the uplink grant may provide feedback using identified feedback resources in an uplink shared channel, and other uplink transmissions may be rate matched around the feedback resources in the uplink shared channel. A base station receiving the feedback may monitor the feedback resources to determine whether the downlink grant or one or more of the downlink transmissions were successfully received at the UE. A base station, in some examples, may monitor different sets of resources to determine whether certain of the uplink grant, downlink grant, downlink transmissions associated with the downlink grant, or any combinations thereof, have been successfully received at the UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine a set of power control parameters for a user equipment (UE) to use in different power control loops. The base station may indicate a power control process for the UE to perform in downlink control information. The UE may identify a subset of the power control parameters to use in a power control loop for the indicated process. In some examples, the power control parameters may be for different sounding reference signal processes, such as uplink channel sounding, downlink channel sounding with channel reciprocity, or cross-link interference. In some other examples, the power control parameters may be for power control loops of different uplink channel configuration. The base station may convey the set of power control parameters to the UE by radio resource control signaling.

    Abstract: Over-the-air phase synchronization for reciprocity-based coordinated multipoint (CoMP) joint transmission is discussed. The base stations of the CoMP group and served user equipment (UEs) each transmit phase synchronization reference signals (PSRS). The receiving nodes will compute co-phasing values representing the phase difference between pairs of the PSRS. For example, the difference between two downlink PSRS computed at the UE for a downlink co-phasing value, and the difference between a single PSRS received at two base stations computed at the base station for an uplink co-phasing value. The base stations of the CoMP group may determine a phase compensation by computing the differences between the uplink and downlink co-phasing values and use that phase compensation to adjust communications by the base stations in the CoMP group. In other aspects, the computed co-phasing values may be used to modulate each nodes transmission of its respective PSRS.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may communicate in an unlicensed spectrum (e.g., a shared radio frequency spectrum band). As such, the UE may determine a codebook size for transmitting hybrid access request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) feedback with respect to the unlicensed spectrum. Accordingly, the UE may base the HARQ ACK codebook size on a number of HARQ processes with which the UE has been configured. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may base the HARQ ACK codebook size on a number and/or duration of downlink channel monitoring occasions indicated by the base station. In some cases, the UE may base the HARQ ACK codebook size on a combination of the techniques described herein.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may measure a frequency selectivity of a channel between the UE and a base station and may transmit signaling to the base station indicating one or both of a frequency selectivity metric or a recommended demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port multiplexing pattern based on measuring the frequency selectivity. In some aspects, the UE may transmit the signaling to assist the base station in configuring a DMRS port multiplexing pattern based on current channel conditions. For example, if the frequency selectivity metric satisfies a threshold, the UE may recommend a DMRS port multiplexing pattern absent of code division multiplexing (CDM). Alternatively, if the frequency selectivity metric fails to satisfy the threshold, the UE may recommend a DMRS port multiplexing patter including CDM.
