This disclosure relates to implementations to support non-UE-specific (i.e. common) and UE-specific search spaces (SS) for M-PDCCH. One implementation relates to a UE comprising RF circuitry to receive, from an eNB, configuration information of one or a plurality of common Search Spaces (CSSs) for M-PDCCH; and baseband circuitry to monitor the one or more configured CSS for M-PDCCH transmissions; wherein the RF circuitry and/or baseband circuitry is adapted to support a reduced bandwidth (BW). Another implementation relates to an eNB comprising RF circuitry to transmit configuration information of a plurality of CSSs for M-PDCCH to one or more UEs supporting a reduced BW, wherein the plurality of CSSs for M-PDCCH are differentiated by “based on functionality”-differentiation that includes the type of use case and/or an EC level of the UE.
