    Abstract: A network device includes at least one processor and at least one memory. The memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processor(s), cause the network device at least to: access ambient IoT device deployment information for ambient IoT devices and user equipment apparatus (UE) deployment information for user equipment apparatuses (UEs); select, based on the ambient IoT device deployment information and the UE deployment information, candidate user equipment apparatuses (candidate UEs), from among the UEs, for providing backscattering service to ambient IoT devices; and iteratively select a subset of UEs, among the candidate UEs, to provide the backscattering service, where the iterative selecting is based at least on, for each iteration, at least one of: respective availability of the plurality of candidate UEs to provide the backscattering service, or at least one criterion relating to respective information in backscattering signals provided by the plurality of ambient IoT devices.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus may include receiving, by a machine type communication user equipment, parameters for frequency hopping in downlink or uplink. The parameters comprise an “X,” “Y,” and “Z” parameters, “X” corresponds to a duration for which the same physical resource blocks are used for transmission. “Y” corresponds to a frequency hopping period, and “Z” corresponds to a frequency hopping pattern indication. The method may also include performing frequency hopping in accordance with the parameters.

    Abstract: REGs are mapped to REs for UEs to all available OFDM symbols for a subframe, which includes a time-frequency resource space including the OFDM symbols in time and subcarriers in frequency. The mapping is performed to form a portion of a control channel and the available symbols are OFDM symbols not used for another control channel. The REs are populated in the portion of the control channel with control information for the UEs using corresponding ones of the REGs. The mapping and the populating are performed to form a complete control channel over one or more subframes, wherein the complete control channel can span a single subframe or multiple subframes. The one or more subframes with the complete control channel are transmitted. A UE will blind decode received subframe(s) in order to determine the control information, which is to be subsequently used by the UE to receive or transmit data.

A method can include obtaining a coverage enhancement paging parameter at a user equipment. The method can also include calculating, by the user equipment, a paging frame or paging occasion according to the paging parameter. In another example, a method can include receiving, at a user equipment, a coverage enhancement paging radio network temporary identifier for use in coverage enhancement mode. The method can also include decoding a physical downlink control channel based on the coverage enhancement paging radio network temporary identifier.
