    Abstract: Coverage enhancement of an eMTC system may be limited if an MTC device switches from transmission mode to reception mode using subframes that may be utilized for transmissions or receptions. The present disclosure provides, among others, a mechanism by which a device may determine a set of valid subframes for use in communicating via a backhaul link, an access link, and/or a direct link. In addition, the present disclosure provides a mechanism by which a device may switch between different communication link operations using subframes that are unavailable for transmitting and/or receiving data. The apparatus may receive repetition configuration information from a base station in communication with the relay node. In addition, the apparatus may determine a backhaul repetition configuration for a backhaul link and an access link repetition configuration for an access link at the relay node based at least on the repetition configuration received from the base station.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a conditional utilization of reference signals for managing communications of one or more user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications system. The described aspects include receiving a transmission having a first subframe slot and a second subframe slot, at least one of the first subframe slot and the second subframe slot have a single-slot transmission time interval (TTI). The described aspects further include detecting a first demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) in the first subframe slot and a second DM-RS in the second subframe slot. The described aspects further include determining whether to demodulate the at least one downlink channel in the first subframe slot using the first DM-RS in the first subframe slot or to demodulate both the first DM-RS in the first subframe slot and the second DM-RS in the second subframe slot based on whether at least one condition exists.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to techniques for single-frequency network (SFN) operation for machine-type communications (MTC) coverage enhancements. A method is provided for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes detecting a synchronization signal transmitted from at least one of a plurality of transmission points, wherein each of the plurality of transmission points transmits a synchronization signal at a different offset time relative to a subframe boundary in a synchronized network, determining a subframe occurring a fixed time after detecting the synchronization signal to monitor for system information transmitted from at least one of the plurality of transmission points, and monitoring for a system information block during the determined subframe.

    Abstract translation: 本公开的某些方面通常涉及无线通信,更具体地涉及用于机器型通信(MTC)覆盖增强的单频网络(SFN)操作的技术。 提供了一种用于用户设备(UE)进行无线通信的方法。 该方法通常包括检测从多个发送点中的至少一个发送的同步信号,其中多个发送点中的每一个相对于同步网络中的子帧边界以不同的偏移时间发送同步信号,确定子帧 在检测到同步信号之后发生固定时间,以监视从多个发送点中的至少一个发送的系统信息,以及在所确定的子帧期间监视系统信息块。
