Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The eNB may encode an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) for transmission in a sub-frame in first physical resource blocks (PRBs). The ePDCCH may indicate: a transmission of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in accordance with a wideband coverage enhancement (WCE), and second PRBs to be used for the transmission of the PDSCH. The eNB may encode the PDSCH for transmission. The eNB may configure transceiver circuitry to transmit the PDSCH in a plurality of subframes, wherein transmission of the PDSCH is repeated in each sub-frame of the plurality of sub-frames in the second PRBs as part of the WCE. The ePDCCH may be transmitted in a starting sub-frame of the plurality in the first PRBs.

Abstract: Machines or networked devices such as internet of things (IoT) devices operate to generate an unlicensed IoT (U-IoT) communication or enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) based on frequency hopping operations on different channels. An anchor channel can be configured to carry system information and paging messages for the U-IoT/eMTC communication on the different channels. The system information and paging messages can include essential system information such as a system information block MulteFire (SIB-MF) message. Physical channels can be configured to enable component carriers anchored to a long term evolution (LTE) licensed band, and entirely comprise unlicensed carrier components that are unanchored to any LTE component carrier in a standalone configuration to enable transmission of the U-IoT communication in standalone communications in an unlicensed band.
