First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of handling coverage enhancement for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- determining whether the UE is in an enhanced coverage mode according to the number of repetitions of a downlink transmission based on which the UE successfully decodes a system information block (SIB); and
performing an uplink transmission with repetitions or without repetitions based on whether the UE is in the enhanced coverage mode.

11. A method of handling coverage enhancement for a network of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
in response to being informed by a user equipment (UE) of the wireless communication system that the UE is not in the enhanced coverage mode, stopping performing repetitions on a downlink transmission to the UE, wherein the UE informs of not being in the enhanced coverage mode by transmitting a random access preamble or a first message to the network. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method of handling coverage enhancement for a network of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting a handover command including a random access configuration to a user equipment (UE) of the wireless communication system, wherein the random access configuration indicates the number of repetitions that the UE follows to transmit a random access preamble. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
