    Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses, described herein, provide for resource allocation to achieve frequency diversity, time diversity, and/or spatial diversity for wakeup signals destined to two or more UE groups by transmitting the wakeup signals according to respective resource patterns associated with the two or more UE groups. Additionally, some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide for resource allocation to achieve spatial diversity for wakeup signals for a single UE group by transmitting the wakeup signals using two or more antenna ports according to respective resource patterns associated with the two or more antenna ports. Furthermore, some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide configurations for wakeup signals based at least in part on delays or gaps, repetitious communications, synchronization in accordance with a power level of the wakeup signal, and the like.

    Abstract: The present disclosure may support dedicated scheduling request resources in a NPUSCH format resource structure, a NPRACH, and/or an ACK/NACK transmission associated with a downlink transmission received at the UE. In addition, the present disclosure may provide various techniques to mitigate collisions between scheduling requests transmitted by a UE, uplink transmissions sent by different UEs, and/or downlink transmissions sent by a base station. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may receive one or more downlink transmissions from a base station. The apparatus may determine to transmit an uplink transmission to the base station. The apparatus transmit, to the base station, a scheduling request for the uplink transmission with an ACK/NACK associated with the one or more downlink transmissions using a narrowband NPUSCH format resource structure.

    Abstract: In order to more efficiently use system resources and to reduce power usage, a narrowband apparatus may determine a set of monitored resource blocks (RBs) on a subframe for monitoring for CRS from a base station may monitor for the CRS from the base station on the subframe based on the set of monitored RBs. The base station may determine a bandwidth for transmitting the CRS to a user equipment, wherein the bandwidth is less than a system bandwidth and may transmit the CRS to the UE using the determined bandwidth, wherein the UE monitors for the CRS on a set of monitored RBs. The set of monitored RBs may include RBs allocated for a PDCCH search space, PDCCH and/or PDSCH transmissions and may further include RBs M subframes after and/or N subframes before the monitored RBs. The set of monitored RBs may include X RBs around a PDCCH search space and/or PDSCH.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. In addition, the apparatus may determine a first set of subframes in the narrowband TDD frame structure used for transmitting a downlink control channel to a UE. In one aspect, a last subframe in the first set of subframes may be subframe n. Further, the apparatus may determine a second set of subframes in the narrowband TDD frame structure used for transmitting a downlink data channel to the UE. In certain aspects, a first subframe in the second set of subframes may be delayed based on k0 number of subframes after the subframe n. In certain other aspects, a last subframe in the second set of subframes may be subframe n+k0+x. Additionally, the apparatus may signal first information associated with the k0 number of subframes to the UE in a first delay field in a DCI transmission.

    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 determine a bandwidth for narrowband communications. The apparatus may determine a narrowband TDD frame structure for the narrowband communications. In one aspect, the narrowband TDD frame structure may include at least one of two or more contiguous downlink subframes, or one or more flexible subframes that can be configured as either a downlink subframe or an uplink subframe. The apparatus may communicate with a UE using the narrowband TDD frame structure determined for the narrowband communications.
