Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications in unlicensed spectrum are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment may identify a service parameter configured for the user equipment for a shared radio frequency channel, such as a subcarrier spacing or beam direction for a directional beam for communications with a base station.
