Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment ('UE') and an evolved Node Bs ('eNBs') in a plurality of frequency bands. An eNB may transmit cross-carrier, cross-subframe scheduling information to a UE in a licensed frequency band. In response reception of the scheduling information, the UE may sense a wireless transmission medium to determine if the medium is idle. If the medium is idle, the UE may generate and transmit a request to reserve the medium in the unlicensed frequency band (e.g., a Clear-to-Send message). The eNB may transmit downlink data to the UE in the unlicensed frequency band. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
