Abstract:
Described techniques provide for switching a user equipment (UE) between different coverage enhancement (CE) modes, such as between a non-CE mode and a CE mode. A UE may determine that a CE mode switch is to be performed and may initiate the mode switching. The UE may compare signal qualities of signals from one or more base stations against one or more threshold values and determine that a switch from a CE mode to a non-CE mode, or from a non-CE to CE mode, is to be performed. In some cases, a UE may be in idle mode and switch between CE modes, or may perform a cell reselection to a different base station. In other cases, a UE may be in connected mode and may declare a radio link failure to initiate a mode switch. A base station may initiate mode switching based on radio link monitoring of UEs.

Claim (Index 43):
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:\n means for establishing, at a first base station, a first connection with a user equipment (UE) according to a coverage enhancement (CE) mode or a non-CE mode; means for receiving, from the UE, an indication of a channel quality of a radio link with the first base station and one or more channel quality measurements for one or more neighboring base stations, the one or more neighboring base stations including a second base station; means for determining that the channel quality of the radio link is below a threshold value; and means for transmitting a handover command to the UE to establish a second connection with the second base station, the handover command indicating a CE mode or non-CE mode for the second connection.
