Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, devices, and methods for grantless uplink transmissions in cellular networks. Various embodiments may include a detailed physical layer design for grantless uplink transmissions. In particular, various embodiments may include, for grantless uplink transmissions, enhanced mechanisms; transmission schemes; repeated transmissions; demodulation reference signal (DM-RS); power control mechanisms; and interference control mechanisms. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

26. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a user equipment (UE) to:
-
acquire downlink synchronization and system information from an evolved node B (eNB); identify, based on the downlink synchronization and system information, a resource pool that is provided in an uplink part of a frame for uplink transmissions, the resource pool being non-UE-specific; randomly select one or more transmission resources of the resource pool; and transmit machine-type communication (MTC) data in the one or more transmission resources. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more storage media having instructions; and one or more processors coupled with the one or more storage media to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to; select one or more transmission resources of a resource pool that is provided in an uplink part of a frame for grantless uplink transmissions, the resource pool being non-UE-specific; construct an uplink transmission to transmit machine-type communication (MTC) data in the one or more transmission resources. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
