A method for wireless communications by a user equipment, UE, comprising: receiving a first configuration of parameters for receiving downlink control channel signaling, the first configuration of parameters associated with a first coverage level; measuring at least one parameter related to channel conditions; determining first (Qout), second (Qin), third (Early_Qout) and fourth (Early_Qin) radio link monitoring, RLM threshold values for the at least one parameter based on the first configuration of parameters associated with the first coverage level; and performing RLM functions based on the first (Qout), second (Qin), third (Early_Qout) and fourth (Early_Qin) RLM threshold values, wherein the RLM threshold values comprise: a first quality threshold value of the at least one parameter related to channel conditions, below the first quality RLM threshold value (Qout) which the UE is considered to be in an out of synchronization, state; a second quality threshold value of the at least one parameter related to channel conditions, above the second (Qin) quality RLM threshold value which the UE is considered to be in a synchronized state, wherein the method further comprises: sending an indication of a change in a coverage zone if the measured at least one parameter related to channel conditions falls below the third quality RLM threshold value (Early_Qout) but before the measured at least one parameter related to channel conditions falls below the first quality RLM threshold value (Qout); and sending an indication of a change in a coverage zone if the measured at least one parameter related to channel conditions exceeds the fourth quality RLM threshold value (Early_Qin) but before the measured at least one parameter related to channel conditions exceeds the second quality RLM threshold value (Qin). receiving a first configuration of parameters for receiving downlink control channel signaling, the first configuration of parameters associated with a first coverage level;
