Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink transmission from a base station over a wireless channel, select, based on the received downlink transmission, a channel state information (CSI) computation mode for the wireless channel, where the CSI computation mode is based on an effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) constraint, measure a set of one or more CSI reference signals (CSI-RSs) from the base station to obtain a CSI measurement, and transmit a CSI report to the base station based on the selected CSI computation mode and the CSI measurement.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for wireless communication in the unlicensed spectrum between an eNB and UEs having different bandwidths, e.g., between a narrowband UE and a wideband eNB. A user equipment apparatus segments an uplink duration in each frame into multiple transmission units for each frequency, wherein a frame comprises an integer number of the transmission units. The apparatus transmits uplink communication based on the multiple transmission units, wherein each transmission unit comprises at least one on period and at least one off period corresponding to each of a plurality of frequencies, wherein during an on period the UE transmits uplink communication on the corresponding frequency and during an off period the UE refrains from transmitting uplink communication on the corresponding frequency. Each transmission unit may comprise multiple on periods and multiple off periods. The on/off periods may be configured by a base station or specified for each frame type.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Resources for narrowband communication in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band may be configured and allocated based on resource availability, regulatory constraints, and device capability or category. A narrowband wireless device, such as a machine type communication device or other relatively low complexity device, may communicate using one or more narrowband carriers, which may occupy between one tone and multiple resource blocks in an unlicensed spectrum band (e.g., any number of resources between one (1) tone and multiple resource blocks (RBs)). Different device types may thus be configured differently as they move between geographic regions. The base station may then communicate with the narrowband mobile device based on the resource allocation and the carrier configuration.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a base station transmitting to a user equipment (UE) a partial bandwidth configuration for uplink transmissions, where the partial bandwidth configuration may indicate a channel interlace and a portion of a channel bandwidth, for example, for autonomous uplink (AUL) transmissions. The base station may also transmit to the UE an AUL configuration including a group identifier. The UE may determine a starting offset with respect to an AUL subframe for a partial bandwidth transmission based on the group identifier. In some cases, different UEs may be grouped into groups of UEs allocated non-overlapping resources, and UEs allocated overlapping resources may have different starting offsets to begin transmitting. According to the determined starting offset, the UE may perform the partial bandwidth transmission over the channel interlace and the portion of the channel bandwidth.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform a transmission detection procedure on each base station before combining control information. The UE may use demodulation reference signals (DMRS) as a detection mechanism. If the UE detects a DMRS from a base station, the UE may determine that a control resource set associated with the base station is valid for combining. If the UE does not detect DMRS from the base station, the UE may refrain from combining control information from the base station. In another example, base stations that pass a listen-before-talk (LBT) pr6ocedure may transmit a preamble before transmitting control information. A preamble may carry a preamble sequence associated with a specific control resource set. The UE may identify a preamble sequence and determine that the corresponding control resource set is valid for control information combining.

Abstract: Base station contention window update procedures with autonomous uplink (AUL) in a transmission opportunity (TxOP) is discussed. After acquiring a channel and scheduling the TxOP, a base station may transmit control signals to manage communications with served user equipments (UEs). Management of AUL communications in addition to update of the contention window may be determined based on whether the base station has either or both downlink data and scheduled uplink (SUL) transmissions scheduled for the TxOP. Where both downlink and SUL are scheduled, AUL transmissions are allowed, but update of the contention window uses feedback based on the downlink transmissions. Where SUL are scheduled, but no downlink data, AUL are allowed and the contention window is updated using performance information on the uplink transmissions. Finally, where neither data nor SUL are scheduled, the base station deactivate any AUL resources for the TxOP and will refrain from updating the contention window.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for receiving ACK/NACK reporting in unlicensed IoT systems with long transmission durations. In one example, an eNodeB executes an LBT protocol to gain access to a channel of a shared spectrum, receives radio resource management (RRM) measurement reports from an IoT-U, estimates a number of repetitions used to schedule the IoT-U based on the RRM measurement, and configures the maximum number of HARQ processes that can be scheduled in a frame based on the RRM measurements and the estimate of the repetitions.

Abstract: Described techniques provide for switching a user equipment (UE) between different coverage enhancement (CE) modes, such as between a non-CE mode and a CE mode. A UE may determine that a CE mode switch is to be performed and may initiate the mode switching. The UE may compare signal qualities of signals from one or more base stations against one or more threshold values and determine that a switch from a CE mode to a non-CE mode, or from a non-CE to CE mode, is to be performed. In some cases, a UE may be in idle mode and switch between CE modes, or may perform a cell reselection to a different base station. In other cases, a UE may be in connected mode and may declare a radio link failure to initiate a mode switch. A base station may initiate mode switching based on radio link monitoring of UEs.

Abstract: Described techniques provide for transmission of synchronization signals using frequency hopping across a number of hopping frequencies in unlicensed or shared radio frequency spectrum. A base station may identify a set of hop frequencies for transmitting synchronization signals, and transmit synchronization signals using a hopping pattern over the hop frequencies. A user equipment (UE) seeking to identify the base station may monitor one or more of the hop frequencies to identify one or more synchronization signals on the hop frequency. A system timing may be identified in some cases, and one or more base station IDs may be identified. In some cases, a hop frequency may be monitored for a duration that may span the transmission of two or more synchronization signals of a particular base station, based on a periodicity of synchronization signal transmissions on each hop frequency.
