a memory comprising instructions; and
one or more processors configured, individually or in any combination, to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to:
monitor for a downlink channel transmission in a first narrowband region comprising one to six resource blocks (RBs) within a wider downlink (DL) system bandwidth, wherein the downlink channel transmission comprises a paging signal and is over a set of repetitions;
determine a radio frequency within the wider DL system bandwidth for paging based at least on a maximum coverage enhancement (CE) level supported by a base station or a bundle size indicating the set of repetitions for the downlink channel transmission comprising the paging signal based at least on the maximum CE level; and
move to a discontinuous reception mode (DRX) if the downlink channel transmission comprising the paging signal is not received over the set of repetitions.
