Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may identify a semi-static resource allocation for a device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)). The resource allocation may be associated with autonomous transmissions from the device in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The base station may generate and provide a message for transmission to the device. The message may convey an indication of the resource allocation. The device may receive the message and use the resource allocation to identify a transmission schedule for the autonomous transmissions.
Claims106
