    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 TDD mode for narrowband communications. The apparatus may determine a TDD frame structure for the narrowband communications from a group of narrowband TDD frame structures. In one aspect, at least one common subframe in each narrowband TDD frame structure in the group of narrowband TDD frame structures may be configured as a downlink subframe. The apparatus may transmit a PSS using the at least one common subframe in the narrowband TDD frame structure determined for the narrowband communications.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration that identifies one or more narrowband channels in which the UE is to receive one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) repetitions of a paging message associated with a discontinuous reception procedure. The UE may receive, in an online mode of the UE, one or more machine-type communication physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) repetitions of control information. The UE may receive, in the online mode of the UE, the one or more PDSCH repetitions in the one or more narrowband channels identified by the configuration. The UE may process, in an offline mode of the UE, the one or more MPDCCH repetitions and the one or more PDSCH repetitions. Numerous other aspects are provided.
