Abstract:
Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for latency reduction for UEs in a RRC connected mode. During contention-based uplink access by groups of UEs within a subframe, an eNB may decode the received uplink transmission based, at least in part, on the assigned group of resources assigned to the UE and used for transmission. Additional orthogonalization techniques such as reduced TTI size can be used to reduce collisions among different users performing contention-based transmissions. Furthermore, when the eNB fails to successfully decode the uplink transmission, the eNB may identify the UE that sent the uplink transmission based on a detected reference signal and may transmit an uplink assignment to the identified UE.

Claim (Index 8):
An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising at least one processor and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:\n receive an assignment assigning a group of resources within an uplink subframe to a group of UEs including the UE; select, by the UE, resources from its assigned group of resources for contention-based access within the uplink subframe; transmit an uplink transmission in the subframe based to a base station (BS), at least in part, on the selected group of resources, wherein the uplink transmission includes a demodulated reference signal (DMRS); receive an uplink assignment in response to the uplink transmission; and transmit subsequent uplink transmissions using the uplink assignment.
