Physical broadcasting channel (PBCH) coverage extension for machine type communication (MTC)

Title:

Physical broadcasting channel (PBCH) coverage extension for machine type communication (MTC)

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP6279709

Kind Code:

B2

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) coverage enhancements, for example, for machine type communications (MTC). In aspects, the PBCH coverage enhancements may be applied by non-MTC devices. A method for wireless communications typically performed by a base station (BS) is provided. The method generally includes determining a set of resources for a new physical broadcast channel (PBCH) with enhanced coverage relative to a legacy PBCH and communicating to at least one user equipment (UE) based on the determined set of resources for the new PBCH. In aspects, the new PBCH may be transmitted on a subframe allocated for communicating with MTC devices (MTC subframe).
