Abstract
Systems, apparatus, user equipment (UE), evolved node B (eNB), computer readable media, and methods are described for uplink grants and hybrid automatic repeat requests (HARQ) in communications systems. Some embodiments operate to determine that an unlicensed first channel is idle based on a sensing of the first channel for a first period of time. Such an embodiment may then generate a reservation signal on the first channel and an uplink grant for a first user equipment (UE). After the uplink grant is communicated, the embodiment senses the first channel to detect a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission associated with the uplink grant. A HARQ acknowledgment or negative acknowledgement may be sent in various embodiments following the sensing.
