Abstract
Technology for a next generation node B (gNB) operable for frequency hopping in MulteFire communications is disclosed. The gNB can perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) for a selected hopping frequency. The gNB can identify a next hopping frequency in a set of hopping frequencies when an energy detection of the CCA is greater than a selected threshold. The gNB can encode data for a downlink transmission at a selected dwell time of a determined hopping frequency in the set of hopping frequencies when an energy detection of the CCA is less than a selected threshold.

1-22. (canceled)
An apparatus of a next generation node B (gNB) operable for frequency hopping in MulteFire communications, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- perform a channel access procedure for a selected hopping frequency;
- identify a next hopping frequency in a set of hopping frequencies when an energy detection of the channel access procedure is greater than a selected threshold;
- and
- encode data for a downlink transmission at a selected dwell time of a determined hopping frequency in the set of hopping frequencies when an energy detection of the channel access procedure is less than a selected threshold;
- and
- a memory interface configured to send the set of hopping frequencies to a memory.
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) operable for frequency hopping MulteFire communications, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- detect a data segment using a detection signal, wherein the detection signal comprises one or more cell-specific reference signals (CRSs);
- encode data for uplink transmission in uplink subframes of the data segment;
- and
- identify a next hopping frequency in a set of hopping frequencies;
- and
- a memory interface configured to send the data to a memory.
At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for frequency hopping in MulteFire communications, the instructions when executed by one or more processors at a user equipment (UE) perform the following:
- detecting a data segment using a detection signal, wherein the detection signal comprises one or more cell-specific reference signals (CRSs);
- encoding data for uplink transmission in uplink subframes of the data segment;
- and
- identifying a next hopping frequency in a set of hopping frequencies.
