    Abstract: Random access channel access and validity procedures are disclosed. In one aspect, the medium access control (MAC) indications multiple random access occasions (ROs) to user equipments (UEs) for random access transmissions. In such aspect, random access failure would only be declared if listen before talk (LBT) procedures for the random access transmission fail on all of the ROs indicated by the MAC layer. Similarly, in additional aspects, a UE will not apply a backoff value for any LBT failures for random access attempts that occur within an LBT time window. In further aspects, a UE may determine the validity of ROs that overlap with a discovery reference signal measurement timing configuration (DMTC) window. In such aspects, the UE may not use overlapping ROs or may determine a portion of the DMTC window that is not used for base station transmissions and declare the overlapping ROs with the unused portion valid.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support procedures for configured grants. Generally, the described techniques may relate to restricting a number of retransmissions used during a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process or managing potential scheduling conflicts for the HARQ process from dynamic grants and configured grants. A device (e.g., a user equipment) may initiate a timer or a counter associated with a HARQ process for indicating that transmission attempts for the HARQ process are permitted. The device may identify a transmission occasion of a configured grant in an unlicensed frequency spectrum band that is associated with the HARQ process and may determine that the timer associated with the HARQ process is active. The device may perform a transmission attempt over the transmission occasion of the configured grant based on determining that the timer is active.

    Abstract: The described techniques provide for efficiently contending for access to a shared radio frequency spectrum for communicating on multiple allocated sub-bands across multiple carriers. As described herein, a user equipment (UE) may first identify allocated sub-bands across multiple carriers in a shared radio frequency spectrum. The UE may then select a carrier and at least one of the multiple allocated sub-bands within the carrier on which to perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure of a first type, and the UE may perform the LBT procedure of the first type on the at least one sub-band. In addition, the UE may also perform LBT procedures of a second type on allocated sub-bands within carriers different from the selected carrier. Based on the results of the LBT procedures, the UE may communicate with the base station on the allocated sub-bands across the multiple carriers in the shared radio frequency spectrum.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to monitoring a paging signal are provided. A wireless communication device may receive a first system information signal from a base station (BS) and may configure a counter with an initial counter value in response to receiving the first system information signal. Additionally, the wireless communication device may receive a second system information signal from the BS and may modify the counter value of the counter in response to receiving the second system information signal. The wireless communication device may monitor for a paging signal from the BS while the counter is outstanding.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to unscheduled uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) data transmissions in a shared radio frequency band are provided. A user equipment (UE) determine priorities for a plurality of transport blocks (TBs) associated with a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes for transmission during configured transmission periods. The UE transmits, to a base station (BS), the plurality of TBs in a shared radio frequency band during the configured transmission periods based on the determined priorities.
