Claim 11:
12. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
interface circuitry; and
baseband circuitry coupled with the interface circuitry, the baseband circuitry configured to perform operations comprising:
determining a change of a usage setting of the UE from a data centric usage setting to a voice centric usage setting or from the voice centric usage setting to the data centric usage setting,
wherein the UE is capable of operating in coverage enhancement (CE) mode B; and
generating a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message to indicate the change of the usage setting,
wherein the interface circuitry is configured to provide the NAS message to radiofrequency (RF) circuitry for transmission to a mobility management entity (MME).
