    Abstract: A wireless communication system is provided allowing a base station to indicate RTT compensation for UEs to adjust their local time clocks to correct propagation delay timing errors and synchronize with the global clock of a base station. A base station sends a downlink transmission including timing information to a UE and receives an uplink transmission from the UE after the downlink transmission. The base station determines a RTT compensation associated with the timing information based on a RTT between the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission. The base station then transmits the RTT compensation to the UE. UEs are thus allowed to synchronize at a high precision with the time clock of the base station. UEs may be configured with different resolutions or granularities in timing correction so that certain UEs can achieve high precision timing correction while other UEs can adjust their time clocks with less precision.

    Abstract: Various features related to eMTC-U deployment are described. In an aspect of the disclosure, an apparatus (e.g., a base station) maybe configured to select a subset of non-anchor channels from a set of available non-anchor channels, where the subset of non-anchor channels may correspond to a bandwidth within an unlicensed band. The apparatus maybe further configured to transmit information indicating the subset of non-anchor channels via an anchor channel. In some configurations, the subset of non-anchor channels maybe selected based on channel measurements performed by the base station or a UE. In one aspect, a UE may receive, from a base station via an anchor channel, information indicating a subset of non-anchor channels selected from a set of available non-anchor channels. The UE may transmit data on one or more non-anchor channel of the subset of non-anchor channels.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive information identifying a reserved resource allocation, wherein the reserved resource allocation is associated with a reserved resource; receive information identifying another resource allocation, wherein the other resource allocation overlaps with the reserved resource allocation at an overlapped portion; and selectively perform a communication using the overlapped portion for the reserved resource allocation or the other resource allocation based at least in part on at least one of: respective traffic types of the reserved resource allocation and the other resource allocation, or respective priority levels associated with the reserved resource allocation and the other resource allocation. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: A method and a system for narrowband wireless communication is disclosed. The base station constructs a DRS comprising a first set of contiguous NPSS subframes followed by a second set of contiguous repeating NSSS subframes. The DRS may further comprise a third set of NSSS subframes followed by a fourth set of NPSS subframes. The base station may apply a cover code to symbols of the NPSS subframes. The base station transmits the NPSS/NSSS subframes as part of a DRS subframe on an anchor channel.

    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses described herein facilitate narrowband communication within the unlicensed frequency spectrum by simultaneously transmitting (e.g., in adjacent channels) a plurality of anchor channels. For example, a base station may simultaneously transmit at least three anchor channels of 180 kHz each so that the 500 kHz minimum bandwidth requirement is satisfied. Furthermore, the techniques and apparatuses described herein provide discovery reference signal (DRS) structures to cause the different types of DRS to be repeated and/or transmitted on different anchor channels, which improves frequency diversity. Also, a synchronization signal of the anchor channels may be used to indicate a configuration of the anchor channels. Thus, synchronization in the NB-IoT-unlicensed (NB-IoT-u) spectrum is enabled, and efficiency is improved over synchronization using a single anchor channel.

    Abstract: A DRX/eDRX cycle may include a single PFW located in one of the non-anchor hopping frames and used to transmit a paging message. When the LBT procedure fails for the non-anchor hopping frame in which the PFW is located, transmission of the paging message may be delayed. Postponing the transmission of the paging message until a subsequent DRX/eDRX cycle be detrimental since the UE may not receive the change in system information at the next modification boundary. Thus, there is a need for paging mechanism the increases the chance of a UE receiving a paging message during a DRX/eDRX cycle. The present disclosure provides a paging mechanism that uses a PSFW with a PFW in each non-anchor hopping frame within a DRX/eDRX cycle. Hence, the chance of a UE receiving a paging message and hence the change in system information may be increased.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, an AP executes a CCA protocol to determine whether to begin transmission within a DMTC window of a radio frame having first and second blocks of subframes. The AP transmits a multi-subframe DRS within the DRS subframes that is scrambled in accordance with a CSI-RS scrambling rule that determines how the second DRS subframe is to be scrambled based on whether the first DRS subframe is included among the first block of subframes or the second block of subframes. At least one UE monitors the DMTC window, and descrambles the CSI-RSs in the multi-DRS subframe based on a CSI-RS descrambling rule that determines how the second DRS subframe is to be descrambled based on whether the first DRS subframe is included among the first block of subframes or the second block of subframes.
