Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for implementing one or more ECCE index determinations for MPDCCH in special subframes in eMTC using communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. For example, a method for wireless communications may include determining a type of channel is scheduled to be transmitted across multiple subframes, determining a first subframe of the multiple subframes is of a first subframe type that is different than a second subframe type of one or more other subframes of the multiple subframes, and determining resources for a decoding candidate of a channel based, at least in part, on the first subframe type and the second subframe type.

A method for introducing hysteresis into a hard handoff decision in code division multiple access (CDMA) communications following an initial hard handoff is provided. The method introduces hysteresis when it is determined that the communicating mobile station system clock is slewing. The slewing determination follows from a calculation of the rate of change in the round trip delay (RTD) in communications with the mobile station. A calculated RTD rate of change is compared with a RTD slewing threshold, where the RTD threshold is the assumed slew rate of the mobile station. Hard handoffs are suspended as long as the calculated RTD rate of change exceeds the RTD slewing threshold. A system and apparatus to implement the above-described method are also provided.
