    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support listen before talk (LBT) for uplink transmissions using multiple subbands. A base station may support communication with a user equipment (UE) via multiple subbands and may transmit an uplink grant to the UE that allocates resources of the multiple subbands for transmission of a shared data channel by the UE. The base station may include an indication within the uplink grant that indicates to the UE to perform a given type of LBT for each subband. After transmitting the uplink grant, the base station may transmit control information or other signaling (e.g., channel occupancy time system information (COT-SI)) that indicates subbands on which the UE is to perform a given type of LBT or other subbands on which the UE is to perform a different type of LBT.

    Abstract: Techniques and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for staggering sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions in frequency across multiple orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, which may allow multiple UEs to transmit SRS using a common listen-before-talk (LBT) gap for a LBT procedure. The techniques also provide for transmitting an SRS across multiple OFDM symbols using same frequency resources, and an orthogonal cover code (OCC) may be applied to the SRS transmission of each OFDM symbol, which may allow multiple UEs to transmit concurrent SRS using a common LBT gap.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for various ways that abase station and a UE may resume uplink communications when a cyclic prefix extension does not occupy (“fill”) the gap between a downlink communication and an uplink communication. The techniques by the UE include performing an early LBT procedure (e.g., during the allocated downlink resources), puncturing the uplink resources, transmitting a reference signal to fill in a one symbol gap, and performing the UL transmission one symbol early. The techniques by the base station include including a cyclic postfix on the downlink (DL) channel to occupy the additional space and performing scheduling techniques to avoid case where a CPE may not fill the symbol periods between the downlink and uplink communication resources.
