    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for transmitting and discovering timing information during wireless communications are described herein. In an aspect, the systems and methods include monitoring at a user equipment (UE) over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band for a discovery signal from a network entity; receiving the discovery signal during a subframe from the network entity; and determining a current subframe location of the network entity based on the discovery signal, wherein the discovery signal includes timing information corresponding to the current subframe location.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more particularly, to design principles for extending Internet of Things (IoT) (e.g., narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), machine type communication(s) (MTC), etc.) into an unlicensed radio frequency (RF) band spectrum. In certain aspects, the method generally includes determining an interlace structure of tones, within an unlicensed radio frequency (RF) spectrum, available to a wireless node for communication, and communicating based on the interlace structure. In some aspects, the communicating involves hopping between tones within the interlace structure during different communication intervals.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. In one method, a clear channel assessment (CCA) may be performed at a base station to determine availability of an unlicensed spectrum. A first waveform may be transmitted to a set of user equipments (UEs) over the unlicensed spectrum when available. The first waveform may indicate a first time period and a second time period during which the base station has channel access over the unlicensed spectrum. A second waveform may be received from one or more UEs responsive to the first waveform. Each second waveform may be received over the unlicensed spectrum during the first time period and may indicate that the respective UE has channel access over the unlicensed spectrum to receive data from the base station during the second time period.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Resources for narrowband communication in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band may be configured and allocated based on resource availability, regulatory constraints, and device capability or category. A narrowband wireless device, such as a machine type communication device or other relatively low complexity device, may communicate using one or more narrowband carriers, which may occupy between one tone and multiple resource blocks in an unlicensed spectrum band (e.g., any number of resources between one (1) tone and multiple resource blocks (RBs)). Different device types may thus be configured differently as they move between geographic regions. The base station may then communicate with the narrowband mobile device based on the resource allocation and the carrier configuration.

    Abstract: Techniques for wireless communications over a shared radio frequency spectrum band, may include techniques for transmitting uplink data transmissions using allocated uplink resources. Allocated uplink resources may include an uplink channel comprising a number of allocated interlaces of resource blocks (RBs) for use by a user equipment (UE). An incoming data stream may be processed and data separated into each of the allocated interlaces of RBs for the UE. Such separation may be through demultiplexing the data stream to obtain data for the allocated interlaces of RBs. The demultiplexed data may be mapped onto associated resource elements associated with the allocated interlaces of RBs, and transmitted. Different types of uplink channels, such as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and/or a physical random access channel (PRACH) may be allocated to interlaces of RBs in one or more subframes of a transmitted radio frame.
