Abstract:
In eMTC, channels may be bundled, using repetitions in multiple subframes. SPS and DRX for eMTC may not accommodate such repetitions, because repetitions for a bundled channel may fall only partially within a DRX ON duration. An apparatus addresses this problem by determining a DRX ON duration, determining a set of subframes carrying a bundled M-PDCCH candidate and determining that the DRX ON duration at least partially overlaps with the set of subframes of the bundled M-PDCCH. The apparatus then refrains from decoding the first bundled M-PDCCH candidate, decodes the first bundled M-PDCCH candidate, or extends the DRX ON duration to include the set of subframes entirely and decoding the first bundled M-PDCCH candidate carried in the set of subframes in the extended DRX ON duration. The apparatus may also determine DRX configuration parameters based on parameters of bundled channels, and handle invalid subframes for an SPS grant.

Claim (Index 18):
The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:\n select an option to adjust the reception or transmission during the set of subframes based on an amount of bundling employed, the option comprising at least one of:\n postponing a transmission scheduled for the unavailable subframe and for any subframe of the set of subframes that is subsequent to the unavailable subframe; \n dropping a transmission scheduled for the unavailable subframe; and \n dropping a transmission scheduled that includes transmitting during the unavailable subframe.
