    Abstract: Coordination of listen before talk (LBT) structure in new radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) multi-channel access operations is disclosed. In one aspect, when a base station determines to access shared communication spectrum, it may transmit an LBT structure signal that identifies the current LBT structure. The base station would then attempt access to the shared spectrum according to the LBT structure. In another aspect, a coordination server is used to manage access to the shared spectrum. Each node desiring access registers with the coordination server, which provides access parameters for the accessing node to use that increases the likelihood of successful access. The accessing nodes will transmit the selected access configuration used to access the shared spectrum, wherein the access configuration is selected based on the access parameters.

    Abstract: New radio (NR) power headroom report (PHR) design for millimeter wave (mmWave) deployment is discussed. The power control process for mmWave may include beam-specific periodic PHR reporting and user equipment (UE)-specific event-trigger PHR reporting. The periodic PHR reporting may either provide a single PHR that includes power headroom information for each of the serving beams, or the UE may be configured to measure and report PHR for different beams in different slots. When reporting a single PHR with power headroom information for multiple serving beams, a beam index may be included in the reserved bits of the PHR. For the event-trigger PHR, the PHR reported based on a detected event trigger may provide power headroom information only for the current serving beam, or for all serving beams.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to medium access in a shared radio frequency band with long-term sensing for exception to medium access restriction are provided. A wireless communication device performs channel measurements in a shared radio frequency band during a plurality of measurement occasions spaced apart in time, the performing the channel measurements being based on a plurality of spatial directions. The wireless communication device determines whether the channel measurements satisfy a criterion for accessing the shared radio frequency band without a medium access restriction. The wireless communication device transmits, in a first spatial direction, a first communication signal in the shared radio frequency band without the medium access restriction in response to determining that the channel measurements satisfy the criterion, the plurality of spatial directions including the first spatial direction.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method includes receiving a transmission from a first wireless device at a second wireless device, the transmission including a first coexistence preamble configured to reserve a channel of a shared radio frequency band for a first period of time, a first segment, and a second segment, where the first coexistence preamble comprises an initial channel reservation sequence and a data field indicating information about the first period of time; and transmitting, during a gap period between the first segment and the second segment, a receiver protection signal from the second wireless device, the receiver protection signal including a second coexistence preamble configured to reserve the channel of the shared radio frequency band for a second period of time associated with the second transmission segment.
