Abstract: A control resource region of an New Radio system slot structure may be separated into control resource sets, only some of which may be used for control transmissions. Aspects presented herein improve the efficient utilization of resources by enabling data transmission in resources of the DL control resource region and/or the UL control resource region. A UE receives an indication of a control resource set in a control resource region of a slot that may provide a control channel resource or a data channel resource and performs rate matching for data transmissions in the data channel based at least in part on the indication. The indication may be a semi-static indication, e.g., RRC signaling, of the control resource set.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to channel sensing for independent 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). For example, the first device may communicate with a second device (e.g., a first TRP) via a first link and communicate with a third device (e.g., a second TRP) via a second link. In some scenarios, first channel sensing information may be obtained for the first link and second channel sensing information may be obtained for the second link. In some aspects, a decision of whether to transmit via one or more of the links may be based on the channel sensing on one or more of the links. In some cases, the links may be grouped together as a channel sensing group.

Abstract: A method or apparatus for wireless communication at a scheduling entity communicating with a plurality of devices over a plurality of links in a shared spectrum in a way to avoid undue interference among the plurality of links. The apparatus receives a set of priority indicators, each priority indicator corresponding to time varying priorities for communicating over the plurality of links. The apparatus assigns each of the plurality of links a subset of the set of priority indicators. Each priority indicator maps to a time varying priority level for the communication during each of a plurality of frames. The apparatus may also receive an indication of a mapping function for determining the corresponding priority level for each priority indicator according to a frame number. Links assigned disjoint priority indicators may have TDM transmissions, whereas links having an overlapping priority indicator may have simultaneous transmissions.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to communicating control information for independent links. For example, control information for one link may be sent via at least one other link. 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). In some scenarios, one link may carry control information for multiple links. For example, one link may indicate the existence of or traffic on at least one other link. As another example, one link may transmit feedback for multiple links. In some scenarios, each link may be provisioned (e.g., as a primary link or a secondary link) to carry specific types of control information for one or more links.

Abstract: Sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission with implied request-to-send (RTS)/clear-to-send (CTS) operations is discussed. Two different types of SRS are defined, a legacy SRS associated with channel measurement sounding, and a contention SRS associated with contention resolution for medium sharing. The type of SRS may be distinguished based on the SRS resource associated with the particular type. Thus, legacy SRS are assigned to one SRS resource, while contention SRS are assigned to separate SRS resources. Therefore, when a neighbor node detects an SRS associated with the SRS resource for contention-type SRS, the neighbor node may know to refrain from transmission or to adjust or modify its communications depending on a spatial direction of the contention SRS.

Abstract: Joint aspects of coordinated multiple (CoMP) operations is discussed between multiple entities that may be in different CoMP clusters or even deployed by different operators. Participating base stations obtain channel related information such as sounding reference signals (SRS), channel state information (CSI), and the like from one or more neighbor user equipments (UE) served by a different base station. The base station determines a channel estimate at the neighbor UEs using the channel related information and selects a beamforming vector and schedules downlink transmissions to a served UE based on the channel estimates incorporating the channels of the other neighbor UEs. The selected beamforming vectors and transmission schedules minimizes the interference at the neighbor UEs.

Abstract: Enhanced robustness for downlink burst transmissions using reiterated grants. A user equipment (UE) may receive multiple transmissions during multiple (e.g., consecutive, etc.) transmission time intervals (TTIs) as part of a downlink burst from a base station, where at least some of the TTIs may include an iteration of a grant and a data transmission. The grants may contain some common control information for TTIs of the downlink burst, as well as an indicator of how may TTIs come before and after. The UE may identify preceding and subsequent TTIs in the downlink burst by decoding any of the grant iterations. If the UE identifies a previous transmission that has not been buffered, it may send a negative acknowledgement to the base station. If the previous transmission has been buffered, the UE may decode the previous transmission based at least in part on the current grant iteration.

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: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit a configuration for enhanced paging to a UE being served by a cell over a shared frequency band. The enhanced paging may include multiple paging intervals for each paging cycle. The UE may enable reception for a paging interval and determine whether the UE receives a downlink transmission. The UE may lengthen a paging interval or enable reception during a second paging interval based in part on determining whether the UE receives a downlink transmission. In some examples, the UE may receive a paging queue status indication indicating that paging information will be transmitted during a paging interval or a later interval, or indicating that no paging information is present at a serving cell.
