Abstract: Embodiments of user equipment (UE), an enhanced node B (eNB), and methods of signaling for proximity services and device-to-device (D2D) discovery in an LTE network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the UE receives configuration information for a D2D discovery resource pool of a cell. The configuration information includes an indication that the D2D discovery resource pool has been logically divided into a plurality of sub-discovery resource pools. The UE performs an initial transmission of a discovery signal in a discovery period using a single D2D discovery resource from a first sub-discovery resource pool of the plurality of sub-discovery resource pools. The UE performs a number of additional transmissions of the discovery signal in the discovery period using additional D2D discovery resources from sub-discovery resource pools of the plurality of sub-discovery resource pools other than the first sub-discovery resource pool. Other apparatuses and methods are also described.

Abstract: Embodiments of a machine-type communication (MTC) User Equipment (UE) and methods for configuring a MTC UE using an evolved Node B (eNB) are generally described herein. A method for configuring a UE for communication performed by circuitry of an evolved Node B (eNB) may include broadcasting, from the eNB, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission on a licensed band, transmitting, from the eNB to the UE, a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) transmission multiplexed with a machine-type communication (MTC) PBCH (M-PBCH) transmission, the M-PBCH transmission including a MTC master information block (M-MIB) in a MTC region of the licensed band, wherein the MTC region includes a subset of frequencies of the licensed band, and transmitting, from the eNB to the UE, a first data transmission on the MTC region in a downlink.

Abstract: An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of providing a quasi-orthogonal multiple access (QOMA) resources are generally described. The UE receives allocation of orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and non-OMA (NOMA) resources. The UE transmits data up to a maximum NOMA rate and NOMA Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) using the NOMA resources without receiving an explicit transmission grant from the eNB. The eNB may allocate multiple NOMA regions associated with different maximum rates, MCSs, number of UEs, UE types, applications and sizes. If the data exceeds the NOMA conditions or the UE is unable to transmit data using the allocated NOMA resources or does not receive an acknowledgement from the eNB regarding reception of the transmitted data, the UE may request an explicit grant of the OMA resources from the eNB and, upon receiving an allocation of the OMA resources, subsequently transmit the data using the allocated OMA resources.

Abstract: An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method for operating in enhanced coverage (EC) modes are generally described. The UE may determine whether or not a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal and an uplink signal allocated to different resources in a particular subframe overlap. The uplink signal may comprise another PUCCH signal or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal. The PUCCH signals may comprise a scheduling request or acknowledgement response/retransmission request. The UE may select one of the overlapping signals and transmit the selected signal on a resource allocated to the other signal instead of on a resource allocated to the one of the overlapping signals. The other signal may or may not be transmitted dependent on whether it is a PUCCH or PUSCH signal.

Cross subframe scheduling may be useful for machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) with reduced bandwidth support including half duplex type MTC UE operating at 1.4 MHz bandwidth.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to techniques for device discovery for device-to-device (D2D) communications. A user equipment (UE) may receive a transmission probability (e.g., from an evolved Node B (eNB)) for transmission of a discovery medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) for D2D communications. The UE may determine a pseudo-random number based on an identifier of the UE, information in the discovery MAC PDU, or information associated with a discovery period. The UE may compare the pseudo-random number with the transmission probability to determine whether to transmit the discovery MAC PDU in the discovery period. Another UE may also determine the pseudo-random number to determine whether the UE is to transmit the discovery MAC PDU in the discovery period. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Devices and methods of enhanced coverage (EC) paging are generally described. An evolved Node-B (eNB) may transmit multiple EC paging messages to user equipment (UE) over at least one paging cycle. Each EC paging message may contain the same paging information. The UE may combine the individual EC paging messages to achieve a predetermined link budget and subsequently may decode the EC combined paging message to determine whether the combined paging message is directed to the UE. The EC paging messages may contain information for more than one UE and a legacy P-RNTI or a specific P-RNTI for EC mode UEs. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in legacy occasions over several paging cycles or non-legacy paging occasions over one or more paging cycles. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in continuous or non-continuous subframes in a particular paging cycle.
