Zusammenfassung:Technology for an eNodeB operable to perform downlink (DL) transmissions using a Long Term Evolution (LTE) control region of a subframe for enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) is disclosed. The eNodeB can encode a system information block type 1 bandwidth reduced (SIB1-BR) for transmission 5 to a bandwidth reduced low complexity or coverage enhancement (BL/CE) user equipment (UE). The SIB1-BR can include an indication that the LTE control region in the subframe includes information for at least one of a machine type communication (MTC) physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) transmission or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. 10 The eNodeB can encode at least one of the MPDCCH transmission or the PDSCH transmission for delivery in a downlink over the LTE control region in the subframe to the BL/CE UE.
