Scheduling uplink transmissions for a user equipment (UE)

Abstract:

transmissions outside a transmission opportunity (TxOP) is disclosed. The UE can process an uplink (UL) opportunity received from an eNodeB during a defined transmission opportunity (TxOP). The UL opportunity can schedule UL information to be transmitted from the UE on one or more UL subframes that are outside the defined TxOP. The UE can initiate a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to be performed before the UL information is transmitted from the UE on the one or more UL subframes that are outside the defined TxOP. The UE can process the UL information for transmission to the eNodeB on the one or more UL subframes located outside the defined TxOP.
