Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 27:
28. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
means for receiving control information identifying a set of parameters associated with a first narrowband downlink shared channel modulated with at least 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM); and
means for determining a resource allocation configuration for the first narrowband downlink shared channel based at least in part on the control information and based at least in part on an overhead associated with resources available for a 16-QAM transmission,
wherein the resource allocation configuration indicates:
a quantity of one or more subframes in the first narrowband downlink shared channel, and
a quantity of repetitions, of a subframe of the one or more subframes, for the 16-QAM transmission, and

wherein the overhead is based at least in part on a value of a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol index in the subframe.
