Abstract: Techniques for synchronization across transmitting nodes of a same public land mobile network (PLMN) operator using a shared radio frequency spectrum band may include initiating, at a first wireless node, a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for access to the shared radio frequency spectrum band, and identifying that a second wireless node associated with a same PLMN operator as the first wireless node has won contention for the shared radio frequency spectrum band. The first wireless node may discontinue the LBT procedure and initiate an auxiliary transmission using the shared radio frequency spectrum band concurrently with a primary transmission of the second wireless node.

Abstract: A network operator may synchronize access for wireless nodes (e.g., base stations) associated with the network operator. However, each network operator of a group of network operators may not synchronize access among the group. A lack of synchronization between network operators intending to utilize shared channels of a wireless communication system may result in a failure to utilize all available network resources. In some aspects, a device associated with a first network operator, of a plurality of network operators, may listen for communications associated with other network operators, of the plurality of network operators in a shared radio frequency spectrum band, during a set of intervals of a transmission opportunity of a channel for which the other network operators have a higher priority, and may communicate, using the channel, with a wireless node associated with the network operator based at least in part on the listening for communications.

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: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communication system may utilize a listen before talk (LBT) procedure prior to transmission. A base station may perform an enhanced clear channel assessment (eCCA) on one channel and a single clear channel assessment (CCA) on another channel. The base station may then send a grant for a user equipment (UE) to transmit on both channels. The UE may receive the grant, and perform a single CCA on the first channel and an eCCA on the second channel. The UE may then transmit uplink information on both the first channel and the second channel. That is, the base station may send an opportunistic grant for transmitting on the second channel even though it may not have passed eCCA at the base station. The UE may then use the channel if it passes an eCCA.

Abstract: Techniques are described for preempting resource allocations to one or more UEs in the event that delay sensitive data is received. A resource allocation of a number of symbols may be granted to a first user equipment (UE) for first associated data to be transmitted. Subsequently, data may be received for a second UE that is more delay sensitive than the first data. The resource allocation to the first UE may be preempted, and resources allocated to the second UE for the second data within a variable length transmission time interval (TTI) of the resource allocation to the first UE. UEs may monitor for preemption during transmissions to other UEs in order to receive new resource grants associated with the preempted resource grant. Whether a UE monitors transmissions for preemption may be determined based on a quality or service (QoS) of the UE.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating a sequence-based signal in a frequency spectrum are provided. A first wireless communication device obtains a configuration for communicating a sequence-based signal in the frequency spectrum. The configuration indicates resources in a frequency spectrum and a frequency distribution mode of the resources. The first wireless communication device communicates the sequence-based signal with a second wireless communication device in the frequency spectrum based on the configuration. The sequence-based signal includes at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal or a physical random access channel (PRACH) signal. The frequency distribution mode indicates at least one of a frequency interlaced structure, a frequency comb structure, or a frequency mini-interlaced structure.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling allocations for independent links. For example, a device may dynamically control the uplink/downlink allocations for different links. In some aspects, the independent links may involve a first device (e.g., a user equipment) communicating via different independent links with different devices (e.g., transmit receive points (TRPs) or sets of TRPs). At least one device may signal the uplink/downlink allocation for the different links. If the isolation between links is high, the links may use different time division duplexed (TDD) or frequency division duplexed (FDD) subframe structures. If the isolation is low or for certain types of information (e.g., control information), the direction of transmission for one link may be constrained to be the same as the direction of transmission for another link (e.g., the links may use the same TDD/FDD frame structures). Also, sounding on different links may be time division multiplexed.

Abstract: A medium reservation framework is disclosed for coexistence of coordinated and uncoordinated wireless networks in licensed spectrum and shared spectrum. The proposed medium reservation framework organically takes into account operating regimes with different numbers of Tx/Rx antennas per node, provides flexibility in trading off medium contention aggressiveness and power saving, leverages the inherent synchronization nature of NR, and covers both coordinated and uncoordinated operation scenarios. Various aspects of the medium reservation framework may be centered on one or more combinations of some basic building blocks, such as an operation grid, synchronization signals, and reservation messages, such as a reservation request signal (RRQ) and one or more a reservation response signals (RRS).

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating in a shared communication medium with flexible scheduling are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device during a reservation period, a channel reservation request for a first transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a spectrum. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device during a response period in response to the channel reservation request, a channel reservation response. The first wireless communication device communicates, with a third wireless communication device during a first time period between the reservation period and the response period, a first communication signal.
