Timer configuration techniques for coverage enhancement

Abstract:

Technology for user equipment (UE) and evolved NobeB (eNB) to support enhanced coverage is disclosed. If both the UE and eNodeB provide support for a first and second coverage enhancement (CE) mode, one or more timers of the UE, eNB and a core network (CN) can 5 be configured according to an extended timer range. However, if either the UE or the eNB does not provide support for both the first and second CE modes, the one or more timers of the UE, eNB and CN are configured according to a legacy timer range.
