Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for MulteFire (MF) narrowband (NB) internet of things (IoT) is disclosed. The apparatus can comprise one or more processors configured to: decode a special subframe from a data segment carried on an nframe that is transmitted in a data channel; identify a downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS) and a guard period (GP) from the special subframe; and switch from receiving in the data channel to transmitting in the data channel during a duration of the special subframe.
