    摘要: There is disclosed a method, implemented in a wireless transmitter associated with license assisted access wireless communications between the wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. The licensed assisted access wireless communications comprise communications using both a licensed wireless spectrum associated with a primary cell and an unlicensed wireless spectrum associated with a secondary cell. The method comprises determining whether a secondary cell channel between the wireless transmitter and the wireless receiver is idle, the secondary cell channel being associated with the unlicensed wireless spectrum of the secondary cell; and if the secondary cell channel is idle, subsequently transmitting a confirmation signal from the wireless transmitter to the wireless receiver via the secondary cell, the confirmation signal alerting the wireless receiver to the commencement of valid data transmissions from the wireless transmitter via the secondary cell. There are also disclosed further related methods and devices.

    摘要: In one aspect of the teachings herein, a transmitter uses a burst numbering scheme to dynamically number the transmit slots comprising a burst transmission on a secondary carrier operated in unlicensed spectrum, where the secondary carrier is time aligned with a primary carrier that operates in licensed spectrum and uses a fixed numbering scheme for its transmit slots. By assigning the transmit slot numbers dynamically, the transmitter has foreknowledge of the transmit slot numbers of the transmit slots within the transmit burst, and can therefore carry out processing that is dependent on the transmit slot number(s) assigned to the transmit slots comprising the burst, even when the burst start time is variable. Correspondingly, a receiver also has foreknowledge of the transmit slot numbers associated with a received burst that was dynamically numbered by a transmitter according to a burst numbering scheme known to the receiver.

    摘要: A contending radio node is configured for attempting contention-based random access. The contending radio node obtains a timing advance sequence that is susceptible to contention. The contending radio node transmits, using the same transmission advancement timing, the timing advance sequence and a contention-resolving identity to a recipient radio node. Responsive to that transmission, the contending radio node receives a response signal that indicates a contention-resolving identity and a timing advance. The contending radio node resolves any contention in its favor when the contention-resolving identity indicated by the response signal corresponds to the contention-resolving identity that the contending radio node transmitted. The contending radio node, responsive to resolving the contention in its favor, adjusts its transmission advancement timing according to the timing advance indicated by the response signal.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method for use in a user equipment (UE) of transmitting uplink data in unlicensed spectrum comprises receiving, from a network node, an uplink grant comprising an indication of one or more subframes to use for transmitting uplink data. Each subframe comprises a plurality of symbols. The method further comprises obtaining an indication of a listen-before-talk (LBT) type. The LBT type indicates a type of LBT procedure that the UE should perform before transmitting uplink data. The method further comprises determining, using the obtained LBT type, at least one of a starting symbol and a stopping symbol for transmitting uplink data, and transmitting uplink data according to at least one of the determined starting symbol and the determined stopping symbol.

    摘要: A radio access node or wireless device performs LBT on a channel and dynamically determines a transmission starting point on the channel, based on whether the LBT succeeds before or after a slot boundary between a slot n and a previous slot n−1. In response to determining that the LBT succeeds before the slot boundary, a transmission scheduled for the slot n is extended to start earlier, in the previous slot n−1. Otherwise, in response to determining that the LBT succeeds after the slot boundary, either a transmission scheduled for a next slot n+1 is extended to start earlier, in the slot n, or a transmission scheduled for the a second mini-slot of the slot n is extended to start earlier, in a first mini-slot of the slot n.
