Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may indicate time and frequency resources for a low latency physical downlink control channel (sPDCCH), which may be different from another physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), to a user equipment (UE). The base station may then transmit a common sPDCCH (CsPDCCH) message to indicate which low latency control channel elements (sCCEs) are used for sPDCCH transmission during a given subframe. In some cases, the signaling used to indicate the initial resource allocation for sPDCCH may be infrequent relative to the CsPDCCH transmissions. If some of the resources initially allocated for sPDCCH are not actually used for sPDCCH during a subframe, the base station and the UE may use those resources for communicating data. For example, the base station may transmit data using a low latency physical downlink shared channel (sPDSCH) to the UE using those resources.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In one example, an indication in a first control message in a control region of a first transmission time interval (TTI) identifies a data region of the first TTI. A data region of the second TTI may be identified based on a grant of resources received in a second control message of a second TTI, where the data region of the first TTI and the control region of the second TTI are frequency division multiplexed with the data region of the second TTI. Other examples include a downlink grant at the beginning of a control region and uplink grants at the end of the control region. In other examples, a downlink grant for a user equipment (UE) may include an indication of resources allocated to the UE in that resource block and a second resource block.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. One method may include receiving, at a first base station, at least one clear channel assessment (CCA)-exempt transmission (CET) indicating timing information of at least a second base station over a shared spectrum. A timing of the first base station may be adjusted based on the received timing information of the second base station. Another method of wireless communication may include identifying a CCA slot assigned to a first base station for a frame, which may be associated with time synchronization, of a shared spectrum. A CCA may be performed at the identified CCA slot for the frame. When the CCA is successful, a first timing information of the first base station may be selectively transmitted during the frame. When the CCA is unsuccessful, a second timing information of a second base station may be listened for during the frame.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for reduced timing between certain downlink communications and responsive uplink communications relative to certain legacy systems (e.g., legacy LTE systems). A user equipment (UE) or base station may be capable of operating using two or more timing configurations that each include an associated time period between receipt of a downlink communication (e.g., a grant of uplink resources or shared channel data) and a responsive uplink communication (e.g., an uplink transmission using the granted uplink resources or feedback of successful reception of the shared channel data). In cases where a UE or base station are capable of two or more timing configurations, a timing configuration for a transmission may be determined and the responsive uplink communication transmitted according to the determined timing configuration.

Abstract: Modifiable guard periods are provided for time division duplexing (TDD) wireless communications. Guard periods may be modified based at least in part on propagation delay information, such as timing advance (TA) information, for one or more user equipment (UE) in a TDD wireless system. Modifiable guard periods may allow for enhanced system efficiency for the TDD wireless system relative to systems that may use a static or semi-statically configured guard period for TDD communications. Modifiable guard periods may in some cases allow one or more uplink or downlink transmissions to be provided within a legacy guard period of a legacy TDD special subframe.

A register clock driver (RCD) can include a logic having one or more input channels, each of the one or more input channels receiving input signals; and a plurality of ranked output ports associated with each of the one or more input channels, the logic providing the input signals received on each of the one or more input channels to the associated plurality of ranked output ports according to control signals. The RCD can operate in a default mode, wherein input signals from the input channels are output to both of the output ports associated with that channel, or can operate in a non-default mode where input signals from the input channels are sent to the appropriate ranked output port associated with that channel. In either case, unused signaling on the output ports is held high.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE). One method includes receiving a downlink grant for a downlink transmission; transmitting channel quality feedback at a first time triggered by receipt of the downlink grant, the first time occurring during a first transmission time interval (TTI); and transmitting acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback for the downlink transmission at a second time triggered by receipt of the downlink grant, the second time occurring during a second TTI, and the second TTI occurring later in time than the first TTI.

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.

Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to communicating uplink control information (UCI) in low-latency communications. A resource assignment is received from an access point to transmit over a first symbol and a second symbol that comprise a first TTI, wherein the resource assignment includes, at least for the first symbol, an indication of one or more consecutive frequency resources in a system bandwidth based on a decimation factor. A reference signal is transmitted in the first TTI over the first symbol and a data signal indicating UCI over the second symbol according to the resource assignment.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Different transmission time interval (TTI) durations may be supported and configured to coexist with one another. A set of TTIs with a relatively short duration may overlap in time with longer duration TTIs. Boundaries of TTIs with a relatively short duration may be configured to align with boundaries of relatively longer duration TTIs. For example, TTIs that are a Long Term Evolution (LTE) subframe, an LTE slot, and a duration of two LTE symbol periods may be supported. Two-symbol period TTIs may align with or be embedded within slot-duration TTIs, which, in turn, may align with or be embedded within a subframe. In some examples, one or more symbol periods of a subframe may be designated as a gap between two-symbol TTIs within the subframe, or such symbols may be merged with a two-symbol TTI within the subframe.
