Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes identifying a priority parameter associated with data to be transmitted on an uplink carrier; selecting, based at least in part on the identified priority parameter, between a first type of message for requesting uplink resources in a shared radio frequency spectrum band or a dedicated radio frequency spectrum band, or a second type of message for requesting uplink resources in the dedicated radio frequency spectrum band; and transmitting the selected type of message.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include inserting, in a first transmission using a first radio access technology (RAT), a channel occupancy identifier for a second transmission using a second RAT. The first method may also include transmitting the first transmission having the channel occupancy identifier over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A second method may include receiving, at a receiver operated using a first RAT, a channel occupancy identifier for a transmission using a second RAT. The channel occupancy identifier may be received over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The second method may also include decoding the channel occupancy identifier to identify a backoff period, and refraining from accessing the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band using the first RAT based at least in part on the identified backoff period.
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.
Abstract:
The subject technology provides for performing clear channel assessment (CCA) in LTE-U. Transmissions may be monitored in a resource reserved for CCA. An energy of the transmissions is detected over a shorter duration than an assigned slot in the resource reserved for CCA. A beacon may be transmitted in a slot assigned to a wireless entity for CCA in response to detecting a clear channel based on the monitoring. In another aspect, a beacon transmission for CCA and a timing for the monitoring are adapted in response to detecting the transmissions for a consecutive number of CCA periods. Further, the subject technology provides for adjusting to a maximum power for transmission of a beacon in a slot assigned to a mobile station for CCA in response to detecting a clear channel based on the monitoring.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for contention-based wireless communications channel access that may improve the likelihood that a contention procedure will pass and allow a device to transmit an uplink or downlink transmission using the contention-based channel. Various disclosed techniques may determine a transmit power for a subsequent transmission based on channel characteristics during one or more clear channel assessment (CCA) time durations. The transmit power may be selected to provide a CCA threshold that may increase the likelihood that a device will win contention for the channel during the CCA procedure.
Abstract:
Mitigation of inter-base station resynchronization loss in wireless networks including contention-based shared frequency spectrum is discussed. Aspects of such mitigation provide for base stations entering into an idle mode when a transmission opportunity occurs in a radio frame of the next resynchronization occasion. Additional aspects provide for the base station to signal a flexible listen before talk (LBT) frame length to the user equipment (UE), either with or without explicit signaling of the downlink-uplink division. Further aspects provide for the base station to signal a reset indication to UEs that will prompt the UEs to monitor for downlink channel reserving signals prior to the current LBT frame ending by the resynchronization occasion.
