  • Patent number: 11973702
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) (e.g., an enhanced machine type communication (EMTC) UE) may identify several narrowbands associated with eMTC protocol based on a system bandwidth of a New Radio (NR) carrier. A base station may transmit an indication of a set of valid narrowbands for eMTC (e.g., based on coexistence considerations between eMTC and NR) to the UE. The base station may further transmit a frequency hopping pattern to the UE (e.g., associated with narrowbands within the set of valid narrowbands), and transmit one or more downlink transmissions according to the frequency hopping pattern. Additionally or alternatively, a base station may identify a subcarrier offset and/or resource block offset between resources (e.g., a resource grid) used for eMTC protocol and resources used for NR. The base station may transmit a frequency alignment parameter to the UE, and the UE may align narrowbands for eMTC accordingly.
