Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for dynamically changing coverage modes and/or communication bandwidth in a wireless communication system. According to some embodiments, a wireless device may attach to a serving cell associated with a cellular network. A volume of data for upcoming communication with the cellular network may be determined. An indication of a requested communication bandwidth may be provided to the serving cell. The wireless device may communicate data with the serving cell using the requested communication bandwidth. In some instances, a request for narrowband communication bandwidth may result in use of a coverage enhancement mode, while a request for wideband communication bandwidth may result in use of a normal coverage mode.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a processing element configured to cause a wireless device to:\n attach to a serving cell associated with a cellular network; \n determine a preferred first uplink communication bandwidth mode from a plurality of uplink communication bandwidth modes, wherein the preferred first uplink communication bandwidth mode comprises a first maximum uplink bandwidth for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to the serving cell, wherein at least one of the plurality of uplink communication bandwidth modes comprises a maximum uplink communication bandwidth of  1 . 4 MHz; \n determine a preferred first downlink communication bandwidth mode from a plurality of downlink communication bandwidth modes, wherein the preferred first downlink communication bandwidth mode comprises a first maximum downlink bandwidth for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to the serving cell, wherein at least one of the plurality of possible downlink communication bandwidth modes comprises a maximum downlink communication bandwidth of  1 . 4 MHz; \n transmit a radio resource control (RRC) message to the serving cell, wherein the RRC message comprises a first indication of the preferred first uplink communication bandwidth mode and a second indication of the preferred first downlink bandwidth mode; and \n communicate data with the serving cell using the preferred first uplink bandwidth and the preferred first downlink bandwidth.
