Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for efficient use of transmit opportunities (TXOPs) through adjustment of contention window backoff time values to compensate for one or more TXOPs that may exceed a TXOP limit. A contention window value may be increased, for example, to provide other devices in the network with a fair opportunity for network access based at least in part on one or more TXOPs that exceed the TXOP limit. Allowing one or more transmissions to exceed a TXOP limit may provide enhanced efficiency as compared to having multiple transmissions.
Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to accessing a channel based on an interference condition in a wireless communication network are provided. For example, a method of wireless communication performed by a wireless communications device may include receiving, from a second wireless communication device, one or more signals associated with a beam parameter, determining, at each of a plurality of locations, a signal measurement for at least one received signal of the one or more received signals, and determining, based at least in part on a cumulative distribution of the signal measurements at the plurality of locations and a reference probability distribution, whether the second wireless communication device satisfies an interference condition. Other features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media disclosed herein support coexistence of multiple wireless communication technologies using time division multiplexing with reduced collisions. In some implementations, a method of wireless communication includes detecting arrival of a data packet for transmission at a wireless communication device via a wireless communication channel. The method further includes, based on a determination that the arrival of the data packet is detected during a slot during which transmission of the data packet is forbidden via the wireless communication channel, initiating delayed transmission of the data packet via the wireless communication channel after expiration of a delay interval. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications for determining, by a node, whether a supervising node coexists with one or more neighbor supervising nodes; activating, by the node, a relaxed energy detection (ED) threshold for establishing medium access suitability for an unlicensed spectrum based on a determination that the supervising node coexists with the one or more neighbor supervising nodes; and performing, by the node, an access procedure for the unlicensed spectrum based on the relaxed ED threshold.
Abstract:
In a particular implementation, a method of wireless communication includes detecting, at a first user equipment (UE) corresponding to a first protocol, one or more time slots during which a second UE corresponding to a second protocol is transmitting via a wireless channel. The first protocol is different than the second protocol. The method also includes transmitting, by the first UE, a message via the wireless channel during at least one time slot and according to a pattern based on the detected one or more time slots. The pattern indicates a set of time slots designated as unavailable based on use by one or more UEs corresponding to the second protocol.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may configure a secondary component carrier (CC) for a user equipment (UE) which is not aligned on a valid channel raster entry. The location of the secondary CC may be indicated based on a reference location relative to another frequency or another CC. The reference location of the secondary CC may be the center of the new CC, an edge of the secondary CC, the position of a subcarrier within the secondary CC, or the position of a resource. In some examples, the reference location of the secondary CC may be indicated relative a currently used CC, an arbitrary channel entry, or an absolute frequency location. In some examples, the relative location may be provided in resource blocks or subcarriers and the subcarrier spacing (SCS). The base station may indicate the width of the secondary CC to the UE.
Abstract:
An effective way for the cellular device-to-device communication and the short range communication to share a set of channels for communication is desired. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The apparatus determines a priority level of each channel of a plurality of channels. The apparatus determines whether a first channel of the plurality of channels, the first channel having a highest priority level, is occupied by short range wireless communication. If the first channel is occupied by the short range wireless communication, the apparatus determines availability of one or more remaining channels of the plurality of channels for a cellular device-to-device (D2D) communication, where the one or more remaining channels are different from the first channel.
Abstract:
In order to provide a generic access rule, the present disclosure proposes a new potential set of adaptivity rules for LBE based on LBT. The generic access rule of the present disclosure provides LTE-U and Wi-Fi coexistence and DL/ UL coexistence in both LTE-U and Wi-Fi. The apparatus receives, from the first master device, a resource allocation for communicating with the second master device. The apparatus also determines a type of CCA procedure to perform before communicating with the second master device on an unlicensed channel. The apparatus further performs a CCA procedure to obtain a transmission opportunity based on the determining, the CCA procedure being one of an ICCA procedure or an ECCA procedure. In addition, the apparatus transmit data to the second master device in accordance with the resource allocation on the unlicensed channel when the transmission opportunity is obtained.

The method also includes determining, based on at least one of the one or more signals for the transmission beam, a second signal measurement with respect to a direction of the transmission beam, and determining, for each of the plurality of candidate sensing beams based on the respective first signal measurement and the second signal measurement, beam coverage information with respect to the transmission beam direction.
Abstract:
Techniques for a node to adjust or update its CW are provided. The node transmits at least one transmission during a channel occupancy time (COT). The node can determine or adjust a contention window (CW) size following the end of COT based on whether feedback for a transmission is received or could be scheduled during the COT.
