    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include receiving at a user equipment (UE) over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band an indication of a time window associated with a transmission of a synchronization signal, and monitoring the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band during the time window to receive a synchronization signal from a base station. A second method may include transmitting an indication of a time window associated with a transmission of a synchronization signal; performing a plurality of clear channel assessments (CCAs) on an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band during the time window; and transmitting the synchronization signal over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band at a transmission time during the time window. The transmission time may be based at least in part on a result of at least one of the CCAs.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides for control plane measurements in a wireless device. The wireless device may perform, on signals received over an unlicensed spectrum across multiple sub-frames, radio resource management (RRM) measurements of a cell. The wireless device may identify one or both of a first subset of the RRM measurements associated with a first subset of the sub-frames including opportunistic transmissions (i.e. before the transmission, clear channel assessment, CCA, is carried out) and a second subset of the RRM measurements associated with a second subset of the sub-frames including guaranteed transmissions (i.e. before the transmission, clear channel assessment, CCA, is not carried out). The wireless device may determine one or more RRM measurement values (e.g. RSSI, RSRQ) based on one or both of the first subset of the RRM measurements and the second subset of the RRM measurements. The wireless device may similarly perform radio link management (RLM) measurements and determine RLM measurement values based on the first and second subsets. The wireless device may also use timers (e.g. CCA timer, RLC timer) for uplink transmissions to detect radio link failures, RLFs.
