UE specific search space and a common search space in a wide coverage enhancement

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to implementations to support UE-specific search space (UESS) for wide coverage enhancement (WCE). One implementation relates to an apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprising: an interface configured to receive configuration information of a UE specific Search Space (UESS) and a common search space (CSS) for enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH) from a radio-frequency (RF) circuitry; and a processor configured to monitor the UESS and the CSS for ePDCCH transmission; wherein the interface and/or the processor is adaptable to support a wideband coverage enhancement (WCE).
