  • Patent number: 11122592
    Abstract: Sharing between priority access license (PAL) and general authorized access (GAA) communications in 5G new radio (NR) systems in 3.5 GHz Spectrum Access System (SAS)/License Shared Access (LSA) operations is disclosed. A resource configuration may be defined that identifies a plurality of sound reference signal (SRS) resources including at least a sounding set of SRS resources and a coexistence set of SRS resources. When communication may occur between PAL entities, a base station transmits a trigger signal to a served UE. The UP transmits an SRS in response to the trigger signal using the coexistence set of SRS resources. The SRS over the coexistence set of resources may reserve communication on the shared communication channel.

  • Patent number: 10959216
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Data may be received during transmission time intervals (TTIs) that have a short duration relative to other TTIs. The short-duration TTIs may occur within or overlap a longer duration TTI, such as a subframe. Feedback responsive to the data may be generated and assigned for transmission during an uplink TTI according to a feedback timing or delay, which may be selected to reduce latency or balance the payload size of uplink messages sent during the assigned uplink TTI. Data and feedback assignments in short-duration TTIs may be configured based on a time division duplexing (TDD) configuration for some TTIs (e.g., subframes). TTIs that are a Long Term Evolution (LTE) subframe, an LTE slot, and a duration of two LTE symbol periods may be supported. Portions of special TTIs may be used for transmissions according to shorter-duration TTIs.
