Abstract:
Techniques for uplink transmission management in a wireless communications system are described herein. An example method may include receiving an explicit uplink grant that indicates one or more implicit uplink grants. In an aspect, the example method may include performing a first clear channel assessment (CCA) in response to the explicit uplink grant in a first time slot. In another aspect, the example method may include, if the first CCA fails, sequentially performing one or more additional CCAs respectively in one or more time slots subsequent to the first time slot in response to the one or more implicit uplink grants, and transmitting the PDU over the unlicensed or shared spectrum and in a time slot subsequent to the time slot in which one of the one or more additional CCAs succeeds.

Claim (Index 31):
A user equipment (UE), comprising:\n means for receiving a first explicit uplink grant for transmission of a first protocol data unit (PDU) associated with a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) process; means for receiving a second explicit uplink grant for transmission of a second PDU associated with a second HARQ process, the second explicit uplink grant being received subsequent to the first explicit uplink grant; means for performing a first clear channel assessment (CCA) in response to the first explicit uplink grant in a first time slot; means for performing a second CCA in response to the second explicit uplink grant in a second time slot; and means for determining, if the first CCA fails and the second CCA succeeds, whether to transmit the first PDU or the second PDU in a time slot subsequent to the second time slot over an unlicensed spectrum or a shared spectrum.
