Abstract: In embodiments, a base station may be able to identify whether a user equipment (UE) is to operate within the cellular network in accordance with a wideband (WB) protocol or a narrowband (NB) protocol. Based on this identification, the base station may further be able to identify a number of resource blocks (RBs) that include subcarriers occupied by enhanced narrowband control channel elements (eNCCEs). Finally, the base station may be able to transmit the eNCCEs on the subcarriers. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for CSI reporting in the unlicensed band are described. CRS-RSs are transmitted from a RAN in narrowband data channels in the unlicensed band to an eMTC UE. The UE determines the CQI and PMI from the CRS-RSs and transmits a periodic CSI report to the RAN that contains the CQI and PMI. The periodic CSI report is received at a nsfrel th subframe of a nmframeth mframe, where nmframe satisfies nmframe mod Npd,mframe=NOFFSET,mframe where Nmframe is a reporting period in terms of mframes and NOFFSET,mframe is a reporting period offset in terms of mframes, and nsfrel satisfies nsfrel−20=NOFFSET,CQI where NOFFSET,CQI is a reporting period offset in subframes.
