Abstract:
Techniques for adjusting a contention window (CW) for transmissions in a shared radio frequency spectrum band may include identifying a number of nodes attempting to transmit using a channel of a shared radio frequency spectrum band and determining a target CW based on the number of nodes attempting to transmit. A new CW value may then be determined based on a prior CW value and the target CW value, and a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure (e.g., a clear channel assessment (CCA)) to access the channel of the shared radio frequency spectrum band may be performed to access the channel.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for efficient use of transmit opportunities (TXOPs) through adjustment of contention window backoff time values to compensate for one or more TXOPs that may exceed a TXOP limit. A contention window value may be increased, for example, to provide other devices in the network with a fair opportunity for network access based at least in part on one or more TXOPs that exceed the TXOP limit. Allowing one or more transmissions to exceed a TXOP limit may provide enhanced efficiency as compared to having multiple transmissions.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless device may receive interference information. The wireless device may select, based at least in part on the interference information, beamforming configuration parameters that include: a quantity of one or more transceiver units that are each associated with a panel of a multi-panel active antenna system, a steering tilt angle to use for each panel controlled by a transceiver unit, and a steering subtilt angle for use across the panels. The wireless device may communicate with another device using the beamforming configuration parameters. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may generate a signal for a packet using a full available frequency domain resource allocation for a channel based at least in part on a location of the wireless communication device being associated with a protected zone for interference mitigation. The wireless communication device may transmit the signal for the packet using the full available frequency domain resource allocation for the channel. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication performed by a wireless communications device may include receiving, from a second wireless communication device, one or more signals associated with a beam parameter, determining, for each of a plurality of locations within a first zone, a first signal measurement for the one or more received signals, determining, at each of a plurality of locations within a second zone, a second signal measurement for the one or more received signals, wherein the second zone is different from the first zone, and determining whether the second wireless communication device satisfies an interference condition based at least in part on a cumulative distribution of at least one of the first signal measurements at the plurality of locations within the first zone or a cumulative distribution of at least one of the second signal measurements at the plurality of locations within the second zone.
Abstract:
Adaptive energy detection (ED) threshold medium access is discussed based on deployment and traffic type. The network nodes sharing a shared communication network are configured with multiple discrete ED thresholds or a range of ED values. As a transmitting node prepares to attempt access to the shared communication spectrum, it identifies an access trigger condition within the network. Such a condition may include traffic type, deployment, or access conditions. In response to detecting an access trigger condition, the transmitting node may select an ED threshold associated with the access trigger condition. Alternatively, upon detection of the access trigger condition, the transmitting node may implement a random ED threshold from the candidate range of ED threshold values.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for a wireless device with dual subscriptions to prioritize a subscriber. A user equipment (UE) may configure a first channel for a first subscription and a second channel for a second subscription. The UE may determine one or more slots for the first subscription for communicating in a first direction and for the second subscription for communicating in a second direction, where the first and second directions are different. The UE may prioritize communications of the first subscription according to the determined slots. The prioritizing may be based on the direction, whether the communications are scheduled or configured, or whether the slot includes a monitoring occasion. The UE may communicate in the first direction according to the first subscription.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may configure a secondary component carrier (CC) for a user equipment (UE) which is not aligned on a valid channel raster entry. The location of the secondary CC may be indicated based on a reference location relative to another frequency or another CC. The reference location of the secondary CC may be the center of the new CC, an edge of the secondary CC, the position of a subcarrier within the secondary CC, or the position of a resource. In some examples, the reference location of the secondary CC may be indicated relative a currently used CC, an arbitrary channel entry, or an absolute frequency location. In some examples, the relative location may be provided in resource blocks or subcarriers and the subcarrier spacing (SCS). The base station may indicate the width of the secondary CC to the UE.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for interference mitigation. An exemplary method performed by a base station generally includes determining, based on a location of another base station and information regarding the other base station, that the other base station is likely to experience interference while receiving an uplink transmission due to a downlink transmission by the base station and forming a null in a beam of the downlink transmission in a direction matching the location of the other base station.
Abstract:
Improvements may be made for the congestion control considering different technologies, types of radio resources, and priorities of different packets. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines an energy-based channel busy ratio (CBR) based on a number of probes on a set of radio resources having respective energy levels greater than an energy threshold. The UE performs congestion control based on the energy-based CBR by adjusting at least one transmission parameter of one or more transmission parameters or transmission power of the UE based on the energy-based CBR.
