Abstract

The present disclosure relates to resolving out-of-sync uplink grants for communication in an unlicensed spectrum. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink grant from a network entity on a downlink communication channel, wherein the uplink grant is associated with a system frame number (SFN). The UE may further determine, based on the SFN, that the uplink grant is out of order with one or more stored uplink grants within a queue. Additionally, the UE may insert the uplink grant in an ordered position within the queue relative to the one or more stored uplink grants.
