Abstract
Methods for paging for reduced bandwidth wireless transmit/receive units, WTRUs, in machine type communication, MTC, are provided. A WTRU determines () a paging narrowband, NB, for the WTRU, to use for monitoring an MTC physical downlink control channel, M-PDCCH, based on at least the most significant bits, MSBs, of a function of a WTRU-identifier, WTRU-ID. The WTRU monitors () for the M-PDCCH on the determined paging NB for the WTRU. The WTRU then receives () a downlink control information, DCI, on the monitored M-PDCCH on the determined paging NB during a paging occasion, PO. The WTRU then receives () a physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH, associated with the M-PDCCH. Alternatively, the WTRU monitors () the M-PDCCH in the M-PDCCH search space, wherein the M-PDCCH has a starting enhanced control channel element, ECCE, index for a WTRU group containing the WTR, and wherein the M-PDCCH includes () the DCI.
