UPLINK SPECTRUM SHARING OF EVOLUTION OF
LONG TERM (LTE)
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority for and the benefit of the EUAN Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 15 / 847,214, filed on December 19, 2017, and the EUAN Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 491,013 , deposited on April 27, 2017, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, as if completely presented below and for all applicable purposes.
TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The technology discussed in this disclosure generally refers to wireless communication systems and, more specifically, to allowing a radio access network (RAN) to use an additional component carrier for uplink (UL) communications. The modalities enable and provide solutions and techniques to improve resource efficiency and UL coverage.
INTRODUCTION [0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, message exchange, broadcast and so on. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users, by sharing available system resources (such as, for example, time, frequency and energy). Examples of such multiple access systems include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, code division multiple access systems
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 6/81
2/57 time (TDMA), frequency division multiple access systems (FDMA) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems (OFDMA), (such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system) . A wireless multiple access communication system may include a series of base stations (BSs), each simultaneously supporting communication to multiple communication devices that may otherwise be known as user equipment (UE).
[0004] To meet the growing demands for expanding connectivity, wireless communication or radio-access technologies are advancing from LTE technology to the next generation of new radio (NR) technology. One technique for expanding connectivity may be to extend the frequency operating range to high frequencies, as low frequencies are becoming overloaded. For example, LTE can operate between a low frequency band (such as below 1 gigahertz (GHz)) to a medium frequency band (such as between about 1 GHz to about 3 GHz) and the next generation of NR can operate in a high frequency range (such as between about 3 GHz and about 30 GHz).
[0005] While LTE deployments continue to grow and expand, and in transition to the next generation NR, support for coexistence between LTE and NR can be important. One approach to providing coexistence is to continue operating LTE devices on LTE component carriers and additionally operating NR devices on separate NR component carriers a
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 7/81
3/57 from LTE component carriers. Another approach is to allow dual connectivity over LTE and NR, where a device that supports both LTE and NR connectivity can gain initial access to an LTE network through a primary LTE cell (PCell) (as, for example, in component LTE carriers ) and subsequently be configured to add a secondary cell (SCell) (such as an NR component carrier) for NR operations. As such, dual connectivity devices can take advantage of LTE and NR component carriers, while NR devices are limited to operation on NR component carriers.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF SOME EXAMPLES [0006] The following summarizes some aspects of the present disclosure to provide a basic understanding of the technology discussed. This summary is not an extensive overview of all aspects covered and is not intended to identify key or essential elements of all aspects or to outline the scope of any or all aspects of the disclosure. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of one or more aspects in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
[0007] Modalities of the present disclosure provide mechanisms for user equipment (UE) of a specific time division duplexing (TDD) radio-access technology (such as, for example, a technology based on new radio (NR) ) to get initial access to the network through an additional component carrier, such as an uplink component carrier (UL)

4/57 long-term evolution (LTE). For example, an NR network can operate in TDD mode and pair a high frequency NR component carrier with one or more low frequency component carriers. An NR (BS) base station can indicate random access features on a low frequency UL component carrier. A UE NR can transmit a random access request using the low frequency UL component carrier based on the indication. The random access procedure can be completed using the low frequency UL component carrier for UL communications and using a high frequency NR component carrier for DL communications. Upon completion, BS NR can configure the UE NR to continue using the low frequency UL component carrier or switch to the high frequency NR component carrier for UL communications.
[0008] For example, under one aspect of disclosure, a wireless communication method includes transmitting, by a first wireless communication device in a first frequency band, a request for random access to a first network; and receiving, by the first wireless communication device, in response to the random access request, a random access response from a second wireless communication device of the first network, where the random access response is in a second band frequency allocated to the first network for time division duplexing (TDD) communications, the second frequency band being different from the first frequency band.

[0010] Under an additional aspect of the disclosure, a device includes a transceiver configured to transmit, in a first frequency band, a request for random access to a first network; and receiving, in response to the random access request, a random access response from a second wireless communication device on the first network, where the random access response is in a second frequency range allocated to the first network for time-division duplexing (TDD) communications, the second frequency band being different from the first frequency band.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0023] The detailed description presented below, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is intended to be a description of several configurations and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the concepts described here can be put into practice. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a complete understanding of the various concepts. Nevertheless, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that these concepts can be put into practice without these specific details. In some cases, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram format in order to avoid obscuring such concepts.
[0024] The techniques described here can be used for several wireless communication networks, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) and other networks. The terms network and system are often used interchangeably. A CDMA network can implement radio technology, such as Universal Land Radio Access (UTRA), cdma2000, etc. UTRA includes CDMA Broadband (WCDMA) and other CDMA variants. cdma2000 covers the IS2000, IS-95 and IS-856 standards. A TDMA network can implement radio technology such as the Global Mobile Communications System (GSM). An OFDMA network can implement a technology of
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 13/81
9/57 radio such as UTRA Evolved (E-UTRA), Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, Flash-OFDM, etc. UTRA and E-UTRA are part of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). Long Term Evolution (LTE) 3GPP and Advanced LTE (LTE-A) are new versions of UMTS that use E-UTRA. UTRA, EUTRA, UMTS, LTE, LTE-A and GSM are described in documents from an organization called Partnership Project 3. Generation (3GPP). The CDMA2000 and UMB are described in documents from an organization called Partnership Project 3. Generation 2 (3GPP2). The techniques described herein can be used for wireless networks and the aforementioned radio technologies, as well as other wireless networks and radio technologies, such as a next-generation network (for example, 5th generation (5G) that works in millimeter wave bands).
[0025] Although some aspects and modalities are described in this application as an illustration for some examples, those skilled in the art will understand that additional implementations and use cases can arise in many different arrangements and scenarios. The innovations described here can be implemented through different types of platforms, devices, systems, shapes, sizes and packaging arrangements. For example, modalities and / or uses may come through integrated chip modalities and other non-component-based devices (such as, for example, end-user devices, vehicles, communication devices, computing devices, industrial equipment, buying / selling devices,
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 14/81
10/57 medical devices, AI-enabled devices, etc.). Although some examples may or may not be specifically targeted to use cases or applications, a wide range of applicability of the described innovations can happen. Implementations may vary from chip-level components or modular components to non-modular implementations, non-chip level implementations, and / or to aggregates, distributed or OEM devices or systems that incorporate one or more aspects of the described innovations. In some practical configurations, devices that incorporate the aspects and features described may also necessarily include additional components and features for implementing and practicing the claimed and described modalities. For example, wireless signal transmission and reception necessarily includes a number of components for analog and digital purposes (such as hardware components that include one or more antennas, RE chains, power amplifiers, modulators, buffers, processors, interleavers, adder / verifiers, etc.). It is intended that the innovations described here can be practiced on a wide variety of devices, chip-level components, systems, distributed arrangements, end-user devices, etc., of varying sizes, shapes and constitution.
[0026] The present disclosure describes mechanisms for an NR network to use an additional component carrier or frequency band for UL communications. In some revealed modalities, an NR network can work over an NR frequency band
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 15/81
11/57
paired with an or more bands frequency NR additional ( as , per example, bands frequency LTE NR). The net NR can work in mode TDD. The band in
NR frequency can be located at higher frequencies than the additional UL frequency bands. The NR frequency band can include frequencies higher than a frequency cap (such as around 3 GHz). Additional UL frequency bands may include frequencies lower than the frequency cap. A BS in the NR network can transmit system information that includes a random access configuration. The random access configuration can indicate resources to perform a random access procedure to obtain initial access to the NR network. The random access resources can be in one of the additional UL frequency bands.
[0027] To obtain initial access to the NR network, a UE may transmit a random access request (such as, for example, a preamble signal of random access). The random access request may be in the additional UL frequency band and the BS may respond by transmitting a random access response in the NR frequency band. Subsequently, the UE can transmit a connection request in the additional UL frequency band to establish a connection with the BS. The BS can respond by transmitting a connection response in the NR frequency band. After establishing a connection, BS can reconfigure the UE to use the NR frequency band for UL communications or configure the UE to continue to use the additional UL frequency band for UL communications. In some embodiments, when one or more UL frequency bands are
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 16/81
12/57 shared with another network (such as an LTE network), BS NR can negotiate or coordinate with the other network to gain access to the additional frequency bands.
[0028] Aspects of the present disclosure can provide several benefits. For example, sharing UL LTE frequency bands may allow an NR network to use the resources available on UL LTE frequency bands that could otherwise be underutilized. In addition, NR frequency bands can have high loss of travel and may be less stable than UL LTE frequency bands due to high frequencies. Indeed, the use of low-frequency UL LTE frequency bands or additional low-frequency UL frequency bands for UL communications during the initial network access procedure can improve the UL network coverage NR. The revealed modalities allow the coexistence between NR networks and LTE networks. The revealed modalities can minimize changes in the physical layer NR to support coexistence. The revealed modalities may not have a significant impact on legacy LTE devices that operate on LTE component carriers. The revealed modalities can also support dual connectivity devices that support simultaneous LTE and NR connections.
[0029] Although the revealed modalities are described in the context of an NR network, which shares UL LTE resources, implementations can also occur in other scenarios. For example, some revealed modalities can be applied to enable a TDD network to use an additional UL frequency band, which may or may not
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 17/81
13/57 be shared with another network to improve UL coverage. In fact, in some instances, UL LTE frequency bands may refer to UL frequency bands without the deployment of an LTE network.
[0030] Figure 1 illustrates a wireless communication network 100 according to the modalities of the present disclosure. Network 100 includes BSs 105, UEs 115 and a central network 130. Network 100 can be a cellular network or a non-cellular wireless network. For example, network 100 can be an LTE network, an LTE-A network, a millimeter wave network (mmW), a new radio network (NR), a 5G network, P2P network, mesh network, D2D where devices communicate with each other, or any other network that succeeds LTE. Alternatively, network 100 can be a unified network that supports multiple radio access technologies (RATs), such as LTE and NR. A BS 105 can be a station that communicates with UEs 115 and can also be referred to as a base transceiver station, a node by an Evolved Node B (eNodeB) or a next generation Node B (gNB), an access point and similar.
[0031] BSs 105 can communicate wirelessly with UEs 115 through one or more BS antennas. Each BS 105 can provide communication coverage for a respective geographical coverage area 110. In 3GPP, the term cell can refer to that specific geographical coverage area of a BS and / or BS subsystem that serves the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. In this regard, a BS 105 can provide communication coverage for a macro-cell, a peak-cell, a femto-cell and / or other types of
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 18/81
14/57 cell. A macro-cell generally covers a relatively large geographical area (such as several kilometers in radius) and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions with the network provider. A peak cell can generally cover a relatively smaller geographical area and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions with the network provider. A femto-cell can also generally cover a relatively small geographic area (such as a residence) and, in addition to unrestricted access, it can also provide restricted access by UEs that have an association with the femto-cell (such as , UEs in a closed group of subscribers (CSG, UEs) for users in the home and the like). A BS for a macro cell can be referred to as a macro-BS. A BS for a pico cell can be referred to as pico-BS. A BS for a femto-cell can be called a femto-BS or residential BS. In the example shown in Figure 1, BSs 105a, 105b and 105c are examples of macro-BSs for coverage areas 110a, 110b and 110c, respectively. BS 105d is an example of a pico-BS or femto-BS for the HOd coverage area. As will be recognized, a BS 105 can support one or multiple cells (such as two, three, four and the like).
[0032] Communication links 125 shown on network 100 may include uplink (UL) transmissions from UE 115 to BS 105 or downlink transmissions (DL) from BS 105 to UE 115. UEs 115 can be dispersed throughout the network 100 and each UE 115 can be stationary or mobile. A UE 115 can also be
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 19/81
15/57 referred to as mobile station, subscriber station, mobile unit, subscriber unit, wireless unit, remote unit, mobile device, wireless device, wireless communication device, remote device, mobile subscriber station, terminal access point, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a telephone, a user agent, a mobile customer, a customer or some other suitable terminology. An LTE 115 can also be a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a portable device, a tablet computer, a laptop, a cordless phone, a personal electronic device , a portable device, a personal computer, a wireless local loop station (WLL), an Internet of Things (loT) device, an Internet of Everything (loE) device, a mechanical type communication device (MTC) , a device, an automobile, an entertainment device, medical device, wearable device, industrial equipment or the like.
[0033] BSs 105 can communicate with central network 130 and with each other. Core network 130 can provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity and other access, routing or mobility functions. At least some BSs 105 (as, for example, which can be an example of a NodeB (eNB) or an access node controller (ANC)) can interact with the central network 130 through backhaul links 132 (such as example, Sl, S2., etc.) and can perform radio configuration and programming to communicate with LTEs 115. In several
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 20/81
16/57 examples, BSs 105 can communicate, directly or indirectly (as, for example, through the central network 130), with each other over backhaul links 134 (as, for example, XI, X2 etc.), which can be wired or wireless communication links.
[0034] Each BS 105 can also communicate with a series of UEs 115 through a number of other BSs 105, where BS 105 can be an example of an intelligent radio head. In alternative configurations, several functions of each BS 105 can be distributed through several BSs 105 (such as radio heads and access network controllers) or consolidated into a single BS 105.
[0035] In some implementations, network 100 uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) over downlink and single carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) over UL. OFDM and SC-FDM partition the system's bandwidth into multiple (K) orthogonal subcarriers, which are also commonly referred to as tones, binaries or the like. Each subcarrier can be modulated with data. In general, modulation symbols are sent in the frequency domain with OFDM and in the time domain with SC-FDM. The spacing between adjacent subcarriers can be fixed and the total number of subcarriers (K) can be dependent on the system bandwidth. The system's bandwidth can also be partitioned into sub-bands.
[0036] In one modality, BSs 105 can allocate or program transmission resources (such as, for example, in the form of blocks of time resources
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 21/81
17/57 frequency) for DL and UL transmissions on network 100. DL refers to the direction of transmission from a BS 105 to a UE 115, while UL refers to the direction of transmission from a UE 115 to a BS 105. Communication can be in the form of radio frames. A radio frame can be divided into a plurality of subframes, for example, about 10. Each subframe can be divided into partitions, for example, about 2. In a frequency division duplex (FDD) mode, simultaneous UL and DL transmissions can occur in different frequency bands. For example, each subframe includes a UL subframe in a UL frequency band and a DL subframe in a DL frequency band. In time division duplexing (TDD) mode, UL and DL transmissions occur at different times using the same frequency band. For example, a subset of subframes (such as DL subframes) in a radio frame can be used for DL transmissions and another subset of subframes (such as UL subframes) in the radio frame can be used for transmissions UL.
[0037] DL subframes and UL subframes can be divided into several regions. For example, each DL or UL subframe can have predefined regions for transmitting reference signals, control information and data. Reference signals are predetermined signals that facilitate communications between BS 105 and UEs 115. For example, a reference signal can have a specific pilot pattern or structure, where pilot tones can cross a bandwidth or bandwidth.
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 22/81
18/57 operating frequency, each positioned at a pre-defined time and a pre-defined frequency. For example, a BS 105 can transmit cell-specific reference signals (CRSs) and / or channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs) to enable a UE 115 to estimate a DL channel. Similarly, a UE 115 can transmit audible reference signals (SRSs) to enable a BS 105 to estimate an UL channel. Control information can include resource assignments and protocol controls. The data may include protocol data and / or operational data. In some embodiments, BSs 105 and US UEs can communicate using autonomous subframes. A stand-alone subframe can include a part for DL communication and a part for UL communication. A stand-alone subframe can be centered on DL or centered on UL. A DL-centered subframe can include a longer duration for DL communication than UL communication. A UL-centered subframe can include a longer duration for UL communication than UL communication.
[0038] In one embodiment, BSs 105 can transmit synchronization signals (such as, for example, that include a primary synchronization signal (BSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)) on network 100 to facilitate synchronization. BSs 105 can broadcast system information associated with network 100 (such as, for example, which includes a master information block (MIB), minimum remaining system information (RMSI) and other system information (OSI)) to facilitate initial network access.
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 23/81
19/57 [0039] In one embodiment, a UE 115 that attempts to access network 100 can perform an initial cell search to detect a PSS from a BS 105. The PSS can enable timing period synchronization and may indicate a physical layer identity value. The UE 115 can then receive an SSS. The SSS can enable radio frame synchronization and provide a cell identity value, which can be combined with the physical layer identity value to identify the cell. SSS can also enable the detection of a duplex mode and a cyclic prefix length. Some systems, such as TDD systems, can transmit an SSS, but not a PSS. Both the PSS and the SSS can be located in a central part of a carrier, respectively. After receiving the PSS and SSS, the LTE 115 can receive a MIB, which can be transmitted on the physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The MIB can include system information for initial network access and programming information for ISMS and / or OSI. After decoding the MIB, the UE 105 can receive RMSI and / or OSI. The RMSI and / or OSI may include radio resource configuration configuration (RRC) information related to random access channel (RACH), paging, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), physical uplink shared channel ( PUSCH), energy control, SRS and cell containment. After obtaining the MIB and / or the SIBs, the UE 115 can perform random access procedures to establish a connection with BS 105. After establishing the connection, the UE 115 and BS 105 can enter a normal operating stage, where operational data can be exchanged.

20/57 [0040] In some modalities, network 100 can be a unified network that supports both LTE and NR. In such embodiments, network 100 can operate on an LTE spectrum or LTE component carriers and an NR spectrum or NR component carriers. The LTE spectrum can include low frequency bands that are below 1 GHz and medium frequency bands that are between about 1 GHz and about 3 GHz. The NR spectrum can include frequency bands below 6 GHz and millimeter wave bands . BSs 105 can include LTE BSs and NR BSs. In some embodiments, LTE BSs and NR BSs can be co-located. For example, BSs 105 can use the same hardware to implement both LTE and NR by running different software components or stacks for LTE and NR. In addition, UEs 115 may include LTE devices alone and NR devices alone. LTE devices alone support LTE connectivity, but not NR. On the other hand, NR devices alone support NR connectivity, but not LTE. Alternatively, some 115 UEs can support dual LTE-NR connectivity. The communication mechanisms and frequency band plans for the various combinations of connectivity are described in more detail below.
[0041] Figures 2 and 3 illustrate frequency band plans that can be used by network 100
to endure coexistence LTE-NR in an area. In figures 2 and 3, the axes geometric X represent frequencies in some units constant. [0042] A Figure 2 illustrates one scenario in
use of frequency band 200 to operate
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 25/81
21/57 LTE devices and NR devices, according to the modalities of the present disclosure. LTE devices alone or legacy and NR devices alone can correspond to UEs 115. LTE devices alone can communicate with LTE BSs similar to BSs 105 based on the LTE communication protocol for initial network access and subsequent normal operations. NR devices alone can communicate with NR BSs similar to BSs 105, based on the NR communication protocol for initial network access and subsequent normal operations.
[0043] Scenario 200 includes a component carrier UL LTE or frequency band 202, a component carrier DL LTE or frequency band 204 and a component carrier NR or frequency band 206. The frequency bands LTE 202 and 204 are in a frequency band 208, which can be between about 700 megahertz (MHz) and about 3 GHz. The UL LTE 202 frequency band is typically located at lower frequencies than the DL LTE 204 frequency band. The NR frequency band 206 is in a 209 frequency band, which can be in a sub-6 GHz band or a millimeter wave band. In some embodiments, the UL LTE 202 frequency band can be located below 1 GHz, the DL LTE 204 frequency band can be located around 2 GHz and the NR 206 frequency band can be located around 3.5 GHz. Although Figure 2 illustrates a UL LTE 202 frequency band, for the sake of simplicity of discussion, a DL LTE 204 frequency band and an NR 206 frequency band are shown, although it is recognized that the modalities of the present disclosure can
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 26/81
22/57 be dimensioned for many other frequency bands UL LTE 202 and / or frequency bands DL LTE 204 in frequency band 208 and / or many other frequency bands NR 206 in frequency band 209.
[0044] The UL LTE 202 frequency band and the DL LTE 204 frequency band can be used by an LTE network for LTE communications in frequency division duplexing (FDD) mode. For example, the UL LTE frequency band is used for UL LTE 200 communications. The DL LTE 204 frequency band is used for DL LTE 212 communications. An LTE device alone can initiate an access to the LTE network by transmitting a random access request on the frequency band 202 and a BS LTE of the network can respond by transmitting a random access response in frequency band 204. Subsequently, the LTE device can transmit a connection request in frequency band 202 and BS LTE can respond with a response from connection in frequency band 204. After establishing a connection, BS LTE and the LTE device can communicate through frequency bands 202 and 204.
[0045] The NR 206 frequency band can be used in an NR network for NR 220 communications in a time division duplex (TDD) mode. An NR device alone can initiate an access to the NR network by transmitting a random access request in frequency band 206 in a UL period or subframe and an NR. The BS of the network can respond by transmitting a random access response in frequency band 206 during a DL period or subframe. Subsequently, the NR device
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 27/81
23/57 can transmit a connection request in frequency band 206 during a UL period and BS NR can respond with a connection response in frequency band 206 during a DL period. After establishing a connection, the BS NR and the NR device can communicate through frequency bands 206, according to a TDD subframe configuration.
[0046] Figure 3 illustrates a scenario of using frequency band 300 to operate dual connectivity devices, according to the modalities of the present disclosure. Scenario 300 includes a frequency band configuration similar to scenario 200, but illustrates the use of frequency bands LTE 202 and 204 and frequency band NR 206 to support dual LTE-NR connectivity. A DL LTE 204 frequency band and an NR 206 frequency band are shown for simplicity of discussion, although it is recognized that the modalities of the present disclosure can be dimensioned for many other UL LTE 202 frequency bands and / or frequency bands. frequency DL LTE 204 in frequency range 208 and / or many other frequency bands NR 206 in frequency range 209.
[0047] In scenario 300, the LTE frequency bands 202 and 204 can be designated for use by a primary LTE cell (PCell) and the NR 206 frequency band can be designated for use by a secondary cell (SCell). A dual LTE-NR device similar to UEs 115 can initiate initial network access over the PCell LTE. For example, the double LTE-NR can use mechanisms similar to the LTE device alone described
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 28/81
24/57 above, where random access and connection requests (such as, for example, UL LTE 310 communications) and responses (such as, for example, DL LTE 312 communications) can be exchanged for frequency bands 202 and 204, respectively. After gaining access to the network at PCell, the network can configure the dual LTE-NR device to add a SCell for DL 314 communications over the NR 206 frequency band.
[0048] Some studies show that UL LTE spectra can be underused. Indeed, allowing NR networks to share UL LTE spectra can improve the efficiency of the use of resources or spectra. In addition, NR networks typically operate over high frequency bands or millimeter wave bands with significantly greater path loss than medium frequency LTE bands or low frequency LTE bands. The high loss of path can cause difficulties for UEs, such as UEs 115, to obtain initial access or establish connections with BSs, such as BSs 105, in NR networks. Indeed, allowing NR devices or UEs to initiate network access over UL LTE spectra can improve UL coverage. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate several mechanisms for NR devices alone to access an NR network using a shared UL LTE frequency spectrum. In Figures 4 and 5, the geometric axes x represent frequencies in some constant units.
[0049] Figure 4 illustrates a method of initial access to the NR 400 network that shares a UL LTE frequency spectrum, according to the modalities of the present disclosure. Method 400 is described in the context of a
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 29/81
25/57 frequency band configuration similar to scenarios 200 and 300. However, in method 400, the UL LTE 2 02 frequency band is shared between an LTE network and an NR network. Although Figure 4 illustrates a UL LTE 202 frequency band, for the sake of simplicity of discussion, a DL LTE 204 frequency band and an NR 206 frequency band are shown, although it is recognized that the modalities of the present disclosure may be designed for many other UL LTE 202 frequency bands and / or DL LTE 204 frequency bands in the 208 frequency range and / or many other NR 206 frequency bands in the 209 frequency range.
[0050] For example, the LTE 202 and 204 frequency bands are designated or licensed by the LTE network and the NR 206 frequency band is designated or licensed by the NR network. In some embodiments, the NR network operator may have an agreement with the LTE network operator to share the UL LTE 202 frequency band for UL NR communications. In some other modalities, the same operator can operate the NR network and the LTE network. NR BSs and LTE BSs can coordinate with each other to share the UL LTE subframes in the UL LTE 202 frequency band. Coordination can be carried out through a backhaul connection or through a central authority. The NR network can communicate UL 410 communications in the UL LTE 202 frequency band based on coordination and communicate DL 412 communications to the NR 206 frequency band. The LTE network can communicate UL communications similar to UL 210 communications (not shown) in the band UL LTE 202 frequency based on coordination and communicate the

[0051] In one embodiment, an NR device alone, similar to UEs 115, can perform a random access procedure to establish a connection with a NR NR of the NR network, using the UL LTE 202 frequency band and the NR frequency band 206. The NR network can broadcast random access configuration information indicating the NR 206 frequency band and certain resources in the UL LTE 202 frequency band. An NR device alone listens to the random access configuration information and transmits a request for random access in the UL LTE 202 frequency band properly. In response, BS NR transmits a random access response in the frequency band NR 206. Subsequently, the NR device can transmit a connection request in the frequency band UL LTE 202 and BS NR can respond with a connection response in the band frequency NR 206. After establishing a connection, BS NR can configure the NR device to communicate on the UL LTE 202 frequency bands and / or the NR 206 frequency band for UL communications. The use of the UL LTE 202 frequency band for initial access to the NR network is described in more detail below.
[0052] Figure 5 illustrates a method of initial access to the NR 500 network that shares a UL LTE frequency spectrum, according to the modalities of the present disclosure. Method 500 is similar to method 400. However, in method 500, an NR network can pair multiple UL LTE 202 frequency bands from one or more LTE networks with the NR 206 frequency band.

frequency LTE 208 may include additional UL LTE frequency bands and / or DL LTE frequency bands similar to the DL LTE 204 frequency bands. Similarly, the NR 209 frequency band may include additional NR frequency bands similar to the frequency bands NR 206.
[0053] In one mode, a BS NR gives network NR can transmit information configuration in access random that indicate the band frequency NR 206 and
resources on multiple UL LTE 202 frequency bands. An NR device alone capable of operating on the UL LTE 202 frequency bands can select a resource from one of the UL LTE 202 frequency bands for initial network access. As an example, the NR device alone can select a resource from the UL LTE 202ui frequency band to transmit a random access request (such as UL 410 communications). Similar to method 400, BS NR can respond by transmitting a random access response (such as DL 412 communications) in the NR 206 frequency band. The random access response can indicate a transmission resource in one of the frequency bands. UL LTE 202 frequency allocated to the NR device. For example, the transmission resource may be on the same UL LTE 202u frequency band or on a different UL LTE frequency band (such as the UL LTE 202u _N frequency band). O

[0066] Figure 8 illustrates a signaling diagram of a method 800 to perform an initial access to an NR network using a UL LTE frequency band, according to the modalities of the present disclosure. Method 800 steps can be performed by computing devices (such as a processor, processing circuit and / or other suitable component) of wireless communication devices, such as BSs 105 and 700 and UEs 115 and 600. Method 800 can be better understood with reference to Figures 4 and 5. As illustrated, Method 800 includes a series of steps listed, but method 800 modalities may include
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 40/81
36/57 additional steps before, after and between the steps listed. In some embodiments, one or more of the steps listed may be omitted or performed in a different order. Method 800 illustrates a BS NR and a UE NR alone for the sake of simplicity of discussion, although it is recognized that the modalities of the present disclosure can be scaled for many other UEs and / or BSs.
[0067] In step 805, a BS of an NR network (such as network 100) transmits system information associated with the NR network in an NR frequency band (such as, for example, the NR 206 frequency band ). The NR network can use a frequency band plan similar to the methods 400 and 500 described above with respect to Figures 4 and 5, respectively. System information can include information related to cell access, channel configuration information (such as UL LTE bandwidth and frequency bands and / or NR frequency band), physical random access configuration information ( PRACH) and / or information from neighboring cells. The PRACH configuration information may indicate strings, formats, resources and / or other information for random access preamble transmissions. The random access resources may be located in one or more UL LTE frequency bands (such as, for example, the UL LTE 202 frequency bands) of one or more LTE networks. For example, BS NR can negotiate with the LTE networks concerned for sharing the UL LTE frequency bands. BS NR can coordinate with LTE networks to determine random access resources on
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 41/81
37/57 UL LTE frequency bands. In some embodiments, the random access features may also include features in the NR frequency band to enable NR devices, which cannot operate on the UL LTE frequency bands, to continue to operate on the NR frequency band. In other words, BS can provide devices
NR the option in select, the leave From resources access random, The frequency band NR or at bands of frequency UL LTE.[0068] In the stage 810, one HUH what try access the
NR network listens to the concerned network for system information. In some modalities, the UE may not be connected to any of the LTE networks. In some embodiments, the UE may be a UE NR alone that does not support LTE connectivity.
[0069] In step 815, the UE transmits a random access request in an UL LTE frequency band, according to the system information. When the system information indicates random access resources in multiple LTE frequency bands, the UE can select a random access resource from one of the LTE frequency bands, the UE can generate a random access preamble according to the information (such as the sequence and format of information in the PRACH configuration). The UE can transmit the random access request in the form of a signal carrying the random access preamble.
[0070] In step 820, after transmitting the random access request, the UE monitors a BS random access response in the NR frequency band, for example, during an access response window
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 42/81
38/57 random.
[0071] At stage 825, after to detect The request access random, the BS determines The timing UL transmission associated with the UE and assigns a resource in a band frequency UL LTE for the UE.[0072] At stage 830, the BS transmits an random access response for the UE in the band in
NR frequency. The random access response may include UL timing adjustment information, resource allocation in the UL LTE frequency band and any other information (such as, for example, a temporary identifier for the UE) for subsequent connection establishment.
[0073] In step 835, after receiving the random access response, the UE transmits a connection request according to the random access response, for example, using the resource assigned in the UL LTE frequency band.
[0074] In step 840, after receiving the connection request, BS can respond by transmitting a connection response in the NR frequency band. The connection response can provide specific configuration information for the UE. The configuration information can configure the UE to continue to use the same UL LTE frequency band for UL communications. Alternatively, the configuration information can reconfigure LTE to use another UL LTE frequency band or the NR frequency band for UL communications.
[0075] In some modalities, the PRACH configuration can additionally include a band of
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 43/81
39/57 NR frequency specifies for monitoring random access response. In some embodiments, an NR network can pair multiple UL LTE frequency bands with an NR frequency band. In some embodiments, BS may allocate a resource for transmitting a connection request on a different UL LTE frequency band from the UL LTE frequency band in which the random access request is received. In some embodiments, the random access request, the random access response, the connection request and the connection response can be referred to as message 1, message 2, message 3 and message 4, respectively. Although Method 800 is described in the context of an NR network configured with random access features in an UL LTE frequency band, Method 800 can be applied over an NR network that uses random access features in an additional UL frequency band, which may or may not be shared by another network.
[0076] Figure 9 is a flow diagram of a method 900 of effecting an access to the initial network to an NR network, according to the modalities of the present disclosure. The steps of method 900 can be performed by a computing device (such as a processor, processing circuit and / or other suitable component) of a wireless communication device, such as UEs 115 and 600. The method 900 may use mechanisms similar to methods 400, 500 and 800 described with respect to Figures 4, 5 and 8, respectively.

Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 44/81
40/57 additional steps before, after and between the steps listed. In some embodiments, one or more of the steps listed may be omitted or performed in a different order.
[0077] In step 910, method 900 includes transmitting, in a first frequency band, a request for random access to a first network, where the first frequency band is shared by the first network and a second network. The wireless communication device can be an LTE NR alone. The first network can be an NR network. The second network can be an LTE network. The first frequency band can be an UL LTE frequency band (such as, for example, UL LTE 202 frequency bands) from the LTE network.
[0078] In step 920, method 900 includes receiving, in response to the random access request, a random access response. The random access response is in a second frequency band allocated to the first network. The second frequency band is different from the first frequency band. The second frequency band can be at substantially higher frequencies than the first frequency band. The second frequency band can be in the sub-6 GHz band or in the millimeter wave frequency range similar to the NR 206 frequency band.
[0079] Although method 900 is described in the context of the first network using the first frequency band shared by the first and the second network, method 900 can be applied by a TDD network to use an additional UL frequency band. For example,
Petition 870190106619, of 10/21/2019, p. 45/81
41/57 the first network can operate in TDD mode with UL and DL communications sent over the second frequency band (such as a primary operating frequency band) and additional UL communications sent over the first frequency band (such as , for example, a secondary operating frequency band)). The first frequency band is shared with another network in some examples. In other examples, the first frequency band is not shared with another network.

by a computing device (such as a processor, processing circuit and / or other suitable component) of a wireless communication device, such as BSs 105 and 700. Method 1000 may use similar mechanisms in methods 400 , 500 and 800, described with respect to Figures 4, 5 and 8, respectively. As illustrated, method 1000 includes a series of steps listed, but modalities of method 1000 may include additional steps before, after and between the steps listed. In some embodiments, one or more of the steps listed may be omitted or performed in a different order.
[0081] In step 1010, method 1000 includes receiving, from a first frequency band, a request for random access to a first network, where the first frequency band is shared by the first network and a second network. The first network can be a network

NR. The wireless communication device may be a BS NR of the NR network. The second network can be an LTE network. The first frequency band can be an UL LTE frequency band (such as, for example, UL LTE 202 frequency bands) from the LTE network.
[0082] In step 1020, method 1000 includes transmitting, in response to the random access request, a random access response. The random access response is in a second frequency band allocated to the first network. The second frequency band is different from the first frequency band. The second frequency band can be at substantially higher frequencies than the first frequency band. The second frequency band can be in the sub-6 GHz band or in the millimeter wave frequency range similar to the NR 206 frequency band.
[0083] Although method 1000 is described in the context of the first network using the first frequency band shared by the first and second networks, method 1000 can be applied by a TDD network to use an additional UL frequency band. For example, the first network can operate in TDD mode with UL and DL communications sent over the second frequency band (such as, for example, a primary operating frequency band) and additional UL communications sent over the first frequency band (as , for example, a secondary operating frequency band).

43/57 [0084] In a mode of an initial UE NR access, based on a RACH configuration for a supplemental uplink carrier (SUL), a RACH configuration for the SUL carrier is transmitted in RMSI. The configuration information for the SUL carrier is sufficient for UEs to complete a RACH procedure through the SUL carrier. In particular, the configuration information includes the necessary power control parameters. The configuration information for the SUL carrier includes a limit. The UE selects this SOUTH carrier for initial access if the energy received reference signal (RSRP) measured by the UE on the DL carrier, where the UE receives RMSI, is less than the threshold. If the UE starts a RACH procedure on the SOUTH carrier, then the RACH procedure will be completed with all the uplink transmission taking place on that operator. It is expected that the network may be able to request a UE in connected mode to initiate a RACH procedure directed at any uplink operator concerned with acquisition of lost path and timing advance.
