Abstract
Various aspects of utilizing narrowband internet of things (NB IOT) communication are still under development. According to an aspect of the disclosure, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) for wireless communication via narrowband internet of things (NB IOT) in an unlicensed spectrum using frequency hopping and digital modulation. The UE performs a synchronization with a base station via at least one of a licensed spectrum or the unlicensed spectrum. The UE communicates with the base station based on the synchronization.
Claims104
A method of wireless communication via narrowband internet of things (NB IOT) in an unlicensed spectrum by a user equipment (UE) using frequency hopping and digital modulation, comprising:
- performing a synchronization with a base station via at least one of a licensed spectrum or the unlicensed spectrum;
- and
- communicating with the base station based on the synchronization.
A method of wireless communication via narrowband internet of things (NB IOT) in an unlicensed spectrum by a base station using frequency hopping and digital modulation, comprising:
- performing a synchronization with a user equipment (UE) via at least one of a licensed spectrum or the unlicensed spectrum;
- and
- communicating with the UE based on the synchronization.
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication via narrowband internet of things (NB IOT) in an unlicensed spectrum using frequency hopping and digital modulation, comprising:
- means for performing a synchronization with a base station via at least one of a licensed spectrum or the unlicensed spectrum;
- and
- means for communicating with the base station based on the synchronization.
