Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium for wireless communications by an apparatus, the computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
monitoring 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;
determining 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
moving to a discontinuous reception mode (DRX) if the downlink channel transmission comprising the paging signal is not received over the set of repetitions.
