    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for detection and management of hidden node interference. A user equipment (UE) may provide measurement reports to a serving transmitting device to help identify the hidden node interferer in response to detecting hidden node interference. The serving transmitting device may collaborate with one or more neighboring transmitting devices, such as other transmitting devices of an operator of a wireless communications system, to identify one or more of the neighboring transmitting devices that are within an energy detect or preamble detect radius of the hidden node. The serving transmitting device may coordinate with the neighboring transmitting device(s) to determine when the hidden node may transmit, to transmit coordinated preamble transmissions to prevent the hidden node from transmitting during a transmission, or to identify a modulation and coding scheme for the transmission.

    Abstract: Synchronization techniques for wireless nodes in a shared radio frequency spectrum band may include performing a listen before talk (LBT) procedure (e.g., a clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure) at identified resynchronization boundaries and initiating transmissions following successful LBT procedures. In the event that a node loses synchronization between resynchronization boundaries, such as due to an unsuccessful LBT procedure, the node becomes unsynchronized and may initiate an LBT procedure separate from the other nodes of the set of nodes. At a subsequent resynchronization boundary, the unsynchronized node may perform a resynchronization procedure in order to again become synchronized with other nodes of the set of nodes. In cases where the resynchronization procedure is unsuccessful, a parameter associated with the resynchronization procedure may be adapted to increase an interval for performing the resynchronization procedure.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) or base station communicating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band may transmit a signal (e.g., a request-to-send (RTS) or clear-to-send (CTS) signal) in a licensed radio frequency spectrum band to decrease the likelihood that neighboring devices will transmit interfering communications. Specific resources may be designated in the licensed radio frequency spectrum band for transmitting these signals, and these resources may be associated with specific unlicensed channels. Signaling in the licensed radio frequency spectrum band may also carry an indication of the unlicensed channel being used or other information relevant to the unlicensed communication. The RTS/CTS signaling in licensed radio frequency spectrum band may be transmitted during a downlink transmit opportunity or an uplink transmit opportunity, or both. Different energy detection thresholds may apply to RTS/CTS signals in licensed and unlicensed spectrum.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for MCS and/or rank selection for UE jointly served by BSs in a CoMP cluster. As described herein, MCS and/or rank selection may be based, at least in part, on the inter-cluster interference and intra-cluster interference experienced by the UE. According to aspects, a CoMP scheduler may assign a UE served by BSs in a CoMP cluster to one of a first group of UEs or a second group of UEs based, at least in part, on inter-cluster and intra-cluster interference experienced by the UE. The scheduler may assign at least one of a MCS or rank selection to the UE based, at least in part, on the assigned group. The scheduler may provide an indication, to one or more BSs in the CoMP cluster, of the at least one MCS or rank selection assigned to the UE.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include transmitting a reference signal from an access point over a shared spectrum to a user equipment (UE), and receiving a measurement of the reference signal from the UE. A second method may include receiving at a UE over a shared spectrum a reference signal from an access point, and transmitting a measurement of the reference signal to the access point. In each of the first and second methods, the measurement may indicate interference with the shared spectrum from outside of a clear channel assessment (CCA) range of the access point. A third method may include receiving a plurality of reference signal measurements, where each reference signal measurement corresponds to one of a plurality of access points and indicates interference with a shared spectrum from outside of a CCA range of the corresponding access point, and performing channel selection for the plurality of access points based at least in part on the received reference signal measurements.
