Abstract:
Techniques for mobile communication in an unlicensed frequency band are discussed. One example apparatus implementing such techniques includes a processor, transmitter circuitry, and receiver circuitry. The processor is configured to determine, for one or more user equipments (UEs), a set of listen before talk (LBT) parameters associated with an unlicensed frequency band; and determine at least one uplink grant in the unlicensed frequency band for at least one of the one or more UEs. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit the set of LBT parameters and the at least one uplink grant. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive transmissions over resources associated with the at least one uplink grant.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment ("UE") and an evolved Node Bs ("eNBs") in a plurality of frequency bands. An eNB may transmit cross-carrier, cross-subframe scheduling information to a UE in a licensed frequency band. In response reception of the scheduling information, the UE may sense a wireless transmission medium to determine if the medium is idle. If the medium is idle, the UE may generate and transmit a request to reserve the medium in the unlicensed frequency band (e.g., a Clear-to-Send message). The eNB may transmit downlink data to the UE in the unlicensed frequency band. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
