    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitter may include an interference avoidance preamble in a wireless transmission. The interference avoidance preamble may identify resources for transmitting an interference avoidance request associated with the wireless transmission. A receiver may experience interference between the wireless transmission and another wireless transmission, and the receiver may transmit the interference avoidance request using the resources identified in the interference avoidance preamble. The transmitter may receive the interference avoidance request and, in response, may enable an interference avoidance mechanism, for example, a listen before talk (LBT) procedure, a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) scheme, a time-division multiplexing (TDM) scheme, a spatial multiplexing scheme, or a combination.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method may include determining symbol level scheduling for symbols allocated to a plurality of user equipments (UEs) within a transmission time interval (TTI); transmitting, in a control channel of the TTI, control information indicating the symbol level scheduling; and communicating, in accordance with the symbol level scheduling, the symbols within the TTI in a plurality of beamformed transmissions. Another method may include receiving, by a UE, control information in a control channel of a TTI; processing the control information to determine a subset of symbols of the TTI allocated to the UE, a symbol length or duration of the subset of the symbols allocated to the UE, and symbol level scheduling for the subset of the symbols within the TTI; and receiving the subset of the symbols based on the control information.

    Abstract: Multi-band Wake-up (MWU) signal transmission and detection is disclosed. A transmitter determines a MWU signal that indicates availability of one or more sub-bands to a first user in a serving cell, and transmits the MWU signal for the one or more sub-bands in the serving cell. A clear channel assessment (CCA) status on the one or more sub-bands that are available to the first user is carried by the payload of MWU signals. The MWU signal includes a first user identifier that identifies the first user as a targeted receiver of the MWU signal. The first user has priority over a second user to utilize the one or more sub-bands. Correspondingly, a receiver receives a MWU signal for one or more sub-bands in the serving cell, decodes a payload of the MWU signal, and determines availability of the one or more sub-bands to the first user based on the payload of the MWU signal.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A method may include receiving, from a base station, a pre-grant message indicating that a downlink transmission is available for transmission to a user equipment (UE) on a first radio frequency (RF) spectrum band, and performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure. The UE may then transmit, based on the LBT procedure indicating a clear channel, a channel reservation signal on a second RF spectrum band, and transmit, to the base station, a response to the pre-grant message on the second RF spectrum band. Another method may include a base station transmitting a pre-grant message to the UE, and receiving a response to the pre-grant message on a second RF spectrum band. The base station may then transmit the downlink transmission to the UE using one or more of a set of transmit beams on a first RF spectrum band.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to performing random channel access are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates a random access configuration with a second wireless communication device in a first frequency spectrum. The random access configuration includes information associated with a channel characteristic difference between the first frequency spectrum and the second frequency spectrum. The first wireless communication device communicates a random access signal with the second wireless communication device in the second frequency spectrum based on the random access configuration. The first frequency spectrum is a millimeter wave (mmWav) frequency band. The second frequency spectrum is a non-mmWav frequency band.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some wireless systems may benefit from estimation of location of a user equipment (UE) within the system. Such estimations may be based at least in part on pilot signals received from one or more reference points (e.g., base stations, access points, etc.). However, in some cases, the communication range of the pilot signals may be too small to support location estimation for at least some UEs in the system. Further, the pilot signals may consume time-frequency resources, which may reduce throughput for the system. In accordance with the described techniques, highly detectable pilot signals may coexist with synchronization signal (SS) block transmissions. Such coexistence may improve accuracy of location estimations for some, or all UEs in the system, or otherwise benefit the system.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for coordinating a random access channel (RACH) procedure with a beam discovery procedure. A timing and configuration of a RACH window may be coordinated with a beam discovery window. By coordinating the two windows, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to use information learned from the beam discovery procedure during the RACH procedure, thereby increasing the likelihood that the RACH procedure is successful. In some cases, the RACH procedure is triggered by the transmission of directional beam reference signals during the beam discovery window. In such cases, the UE determines the timing of the RACH window based at least in part on the receipt of the directional beam reference signals. In some cases, the RACH window is configured using a static configuration relative to the beam discovery window.

    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). A length of the gap 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.
