Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of: one or more first cells of a first cell type; and one or more second cells of a second cell type. A calculated total transmit power for a plurality of signals is determined. The plurality of signals comprise a first sounding reference signal (SRS) configured for transmission, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells; and a second SRS configured for transmission, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells. The wireless device drops a transmission of the first SRS or scales a transmission power of the first SRS, based on a SRS transmit power priority of the first SRS, when the calculated total transmit power exceeds a first value. The SRS transmit power priority is based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

Abstract: A wireless device receives a grant scheduling a transmission on sub-bands of a physical uplink shared channel of a cell. The sub-bands comprise a first sub-band and one or more other sub-bands. The wireless device performs, in response to the grant: a first type listen-before-talk (LBT) on the first sub-band; and a second type LBT on each of the one or more other sub-bands. Data is transmitted on a sub-band of the sub-bands, based on a determination that: the first type LBT indicates that the first sub-band is clear; and the second type LBT indicates that each of the one or more other sub-bands are clear.

Abstract: An environmental frequency sensing device, includes logic that performs signal strength (SS) level separation on a received band of frequencies to produce SS level separated frequencies. The logic performs frequency grouping on the SS level separated frequencies for each signal strength level to produce magnitude information for each grouping. The logic generates peak data by detecting peaks of the produced magnitude information. The logic generates an edge event indicating a signal edge based on arrival or departure of a given peak and compares, on a frequency basis, generated edges to stored fingerprint data of a signal of interest. Based on the comparison, the logic provides detected signal data indicating current use of a range of frequencies in an environment.
