Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of cross correlation including symbols indicative of radio frequency (RF) energy. An electronic device including a statistic calculator may be configured to calculate a statistic including the cross-correlation of the symbols. The electronic device may include a comparator configured to provide a signal indicative of a presence or absence of a wireless communication signal in the particular portion of the wireless spectrum based on a comparison of the statistic with a threshold. A decoder/precoder may be configured to receive the signal indicative of the presence or absence of the wireless communication signal and to decode the symbols responsive to a signal indicative of the presence of the wireless communication signal. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.

A UE performs first control channel monitoring according to a first CORESET and first search space set configuration(s), the first control channel monitoring performed on n subbands, n>1, able to be transmitted by a base station in an unlicensed band carrier. The UE determines, in response to a detection of a control channel in the monitoring and from the control channel, transmission bandwidth configuration to be used by the base station in the unlicensed band carrier for control channels. The UE performs second control channel monitoring according to a second CORESET and at least one second search space set configuration. The second control channel monitoring is performed on m subbands, m≤n, in the unlicensed band carrier, the m subbands being a subset of the n of subbands. A base station determines which subbands are available for use and transmits the transmission bandwidth configuration to the UE based thereon.

In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium for wireless communications for a donor node to provide a resource pattern over an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) backhaul. The aspect may include determining, at a central unit (CU) of the donor node, a configuration of a resource pattern for a plurality of IAB-nodes of an IAB network, wherein the configuration of the resource pattern includes a base resource pattern configured with a base periodicity of one or more slots and a plurality of distributed unit (DU) slot format indices within the base periodicity. The aspect may include transmitting, by the CU of the donor node, the resource pattern to one or more of the plurality of IAB-nodes of the IAB network.

A wireless device may receive one or more configuration parameters for a cell. The one or more configuration parameters may indicate a periodic resource configuration. The periodic resource configuration may be activatable by predetermined values of: a hybrid automatic repeat request process identifier (HARQ ID) field of a first downlink control information (DCI) format; and a redundancy version (RV) field of the first DCI format. The wireless device may receive a DCI based on a second DCI format without the HARQ ID field and/or the RV field. The wireless device may activate the periodic resource configuration based on: a size of the HARQ ID field of the DCI and/or the RV field of the DCI being zero; and the periodic resource configuration being in an inactive state.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may indicate support of an extended cyclic prefix (ECP), where a duration of the ECP or transmitting the ECP is based on the indication. In some cases, the UE may receive an uplink grant to transmit an uplink message with an indication of the ECP, and the UE may transmit the ECP and uplink message according to a timeline based in part on the ECP. Additionally or alternatively, an uplink channel allocation indicated in the uplink grant may include a starting point for the ECP, where the UE transmits the ECP at the starting point. In some cases, the UE may multiplex uplink control information (UCI) in the uplink channel based on a timeline that is based in part on the ECP.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station to communicate with a set of user equipments (UEs) in a spatial division multiplexing (SDM) configuration for dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) communications. One or more first UEs of the set of UEs may communicate via a first radio access technology (RAT), and one or more second UEs may communicate via a second RAT in a multiple-user multiple-input multiple output (MU-MIMO) configuration. The base station may indicate the SDM configuration to one or more of the set of UEs. In some examples, the base station may transmit an indication to the set of UEs which may indicate a set of resources to be used for DSS communications. In some examples, the SDM configuration may specify one or more reference signal patterns for communicating in the set of resources.

A method comprising extending a transmission delay caused by a clear channel assessment check delaying a communication between an access point and a user equipment over an unlicensed transmission link beyond a start of an earliest possible subframe/slot with useful data, the transmission delay being extended till a defined period from a start of a subframe/slot.

The present disclosure provides a data transmission method and apparatus. The method is applied to a terminal, and the method comprises: determining a non-fixed position for signalling detection on an unlicensed frequency band; detecting control signalling detection at the non-fixed position; and when control signalling is detected, carrying out corresponding data transmission according to an indication of the control signalling. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the detection of control signalling on an unlicensed frequency band can be achieved by means of a terminal, the control signaling can also be accurately detected, and the success rate of corresponding data transmission can also be ensured.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine to bundle or not bundle demodulation reference signals (DMRS) of multiple downlink data transmissions using an indication from a base station. The indication may be transmitted via control signaling, such as downlink control information (DCI) from the base station to the UE. For example, a bit of the DCI may be used to dynamically indicate a current precoding in relation to a preceding precoding. For example, the bit may indicate if the current precoding is the same as a previous precoding (e.g., UE may bundle the DMRS), or the bit may indicate that the current precoding is different than the previous precoding (e.g., UE may not bundle DMRS).

Described is a Multi-Spectrum and Multi-Network Communication (MSMNC) system for communicating with at least one user equipment (UE) over a plurality of unlicensed communication core networks (generally and interchangeably referred to as “unlicensed core networks”) and at least one licensed spectrum communication core network (generally and interchangeably referred to as “unlicensed core networks”), where each unlicensed communication core network operates over a first band of unlicensed wireless frequencies and each licensed communication core network operates over a second band of licensed wireless frequencies.
