    Abstract: A base station (BS) may transmit, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, a physical channel, such as a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) or a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH). In an interference-limited scenario in a network, it may be desirable to perform additional processing to introduce interference randomization into the control channel to ensure that the UE can recover data of the control channel. Some types of UEs, such as legacy UEs, may not be capable of recovering the control channel when the additional processing is performed. In some aspects, the BS may identify a type of UE associated with a cell, and may transmit a physical channel processed using a processing scheme selected based at least in part on the type of UE associated with the cell.

    Abstract: There is a need to support narrowband TDD frame structure for narrowband communications. The present disclosure provides a solution by supporting one or more narrowband TDD frame structure(s) for narrowband communications. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may receive information associated with a narrowband TDD frame structure for narrowband communications. The apparatus may transmit a first symbol group of a first narrowband physical random access channel (NPRACH) preamble to a base station. In one aspect, a first length of the first symbol group may be associated with the narrowband TDD frame structure.

    Abstract: There is a need to support narrowband TDD frame structure for narrowband communications. The present disclosure provides a solution by supporting one or more narrowband TDD frame structure(s) for narrowband communications. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus may receive information associated with a narrowband TDD frame structure for narrowband communications, the narrowband TDD frame structure including a set of contiguous uplink subframes. The apparatus may also determine an orthogonal sequence length associated with a reference signal (RS) based on at least one of a number of uplink subframes or a number of slots in the set of contiguous uplink subframes. In addition, the apparatus may transmit the RS using the determined orthogonal sequence length.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for hopping design for larger bandwidth allocations in enhanced machine type communications (eMTC). A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes receiving a resource allocation for uplink transmission in at least one subframe. The resource allocation includes a set of allocated subframes and configuration information for frequency hopping. The method includes determining allocated frequency hopped resources, within a system bandwidth, for each subframe of the set of allocated subframes. The method includes including a center resource block (RB) in addition to the determined allocated frequency hopped resources if the determined allocated frequency hopped resources include resources around the center RB. The method includes removing a last RB from the determined allocated frequency hopped resources if the determined allocated frequency hopped resources include resources around the center RB.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which a scrambling sequence vector pair associated with a scrambling sequence matrix with a high level of frequency domain orthogonalization is determined. A spreading sequence vector pair associated with a spreading sequence matrix with a low level of time domain orthogonalization is determined. An orthogonal cover code (OCC) matrix is generated by assigning the determined scrambling sequence vector pair to the determined spreading sequence vector pair. The OCC may be applied to one or more demodulation reference signals associated with a set of resource blocks for transmission.
