    Abstract: Techniques for observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) positioning based on heterogeneous reference signals (RSs) are discussed. One example apparatus configured to be employed within a user equipment (UE) comprises receiver circuitry, a processor, and transmitter circuitry. The receiver circuitry can receive, from each of a plurality of evolved Node Bs (eNBs), one or more RSs of each of a plurality of distinct types of RSs. The processor can determine, for each of the eNBs, a time of arrival (TOA) of the one or more RSs of each of the plurality of distinct types of RSs; and compute, for each of the eNBs, a reference signal time difference (RSTD) based at least in part on the TOAs of the one or more RSs of each of the plurality of distinct types of RSs. The transmitter circuitry can transmit the RSTD computed for each of the eNBs.

    Abstract: Opportunistic networking systems can utilize one or multiple bands/channels that are shared with other radio access technologies (RATs) (such as wireless local area networks (WLAN, such as Wi-Fi) and mmWave). An unconventional carrier type (UCT) can be defined to support opportunistic networking in licensed and/or unlicensed spectrum. For example, a primary base station can determine a secondary base station activated for use with user equipment (UE). The primary base station can schedule data to be sent to the UE via the secondary base station. The secondary base station can provide discovery information, reserve a wireless channel, transmit the data and/or release the channel (implicitly, explicitly, or by reservation).

    Abstract: An enhanced NodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of communicating using Long Term Evolution (LTE) licensed and unlicensed bands are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit a trigger signal to the UE. The trigger signal may be transmitted in the LTE unlicensed or licensed band and inform the UE of transmission of a reference signal from the eNB to the UE in the unlicensed band. The trigger signal may correspond to a single reference signal transmission or multiple periodic or consecutive reference signal transmissions. The trigger signal or a separate trigger signal may be used to inform the UE of a data transmission. The trigger signal may be transmitted at any point prior to or in the same subframe as the reference signal and the reference signal may be transmitted before, after or in the same subframe as the data.
