Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to maintaining, defining, configuring and implementing a coverage enhancement mode defined for radio access network. A base station may maintain parameters that define multiple coverage enhancement modes in a lookup table and may select a first coverage enhancement mode from the two or more coverage enhancement modes for use with a first user equipment to accommodate use of one or more carrier frequencies, time or frequency duplexing mode, cell size, capabilities of the first user equipment or a channel measurements report of the first user equipment, and schedule a set of control and data channels to be used for communicating with the first user equipment using a first transmission scheme defined by first parameters associated with the first coverage enhancement mode. The set of control and data channels may include uplink control and data channels and downlink control and data channels.
