Patent Images
1. A method for wireless communications by a base station, comprising:
- selecting at least one narrow band, from a number of narrow bands partitioned from an available system bandwidth, for communications with a user equipment (UE);
signaling information regarding the selected narrow band to the UE wherein the information comprises an indication of a resource allocation within the narrow band, a first field indicating an index of an allocated narrow band, and a second field indicating the resource allocation within the allocated narrow band; and
communicating with the UE using the selected narrow band.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques that may be utilized to perform communications using narrow bands partitioned from available bandwidth. In some cases, a base station may select at least one narrow band, from a number of narrow bands partitioned from an available system bandwidth, for communications with a user equipment (UE), signal information regarding the selected narrow band to the UE, and communicat with the UE using the selected narrow band. The UE may receive the information regarding the selected at least one narrow band, and communicate with at least one base station using the at least one narrow band.
