MULTI-USER MULTIPLEXING FRAME STRUCTURE FOR eMTC
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- identifying at least one narrowband region within a wider system bandwidth;
determining at least one parameter assigned to the UE for transmitting symbols of a physical uplink channel in the narrowband region that are multiplexed with symbols transmitted by one or more other UEs; and
transmitting the physical uplink channel using the at least one determined parameter.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications, and more specifically increasing user capacity through a frame structure which supports eMTC UL multi-user multiplexing. According to aspects, a UE may identify at least one narrowband region within a wider system bandwidth, determine at least one parameter assigned to the UE for transmitting symbols of a physical uplink channel in the narrowband region that are multiplexed with symbols transmitted by one or more other UEs, and transmit the physical uplink channel using the at least one determined parameter.
