Wireless communication between wideband enb and narrowband ue

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• means for performing a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure at a beginning of each of a plurality of frames;
• and
• means for transmitting a plurality of repetitions of a transmission, wherein when the plurality of repetitions span multiple frames and the LBT procedure is not successful for a first frame, the base station drops at least one repetition in the first frame or postpones the at least one repetition in the first frame until a second frame when the LBT procedure is successful.

A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication at a base station, comprising code to:

• perform a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure at a beginning of each of a plurality of frames;
• and
• transmit a plurality of repetitions of a transmission, wherein when the plurality of repetitions span multiple frames and the LBT procedure is not successful for a first frame, the base station drops at least one repetition in the first frame or postpones the at least one repetition in the first frame until a second frame when the LBT procedure is successful.

A method of wireless communication at a base user equipment, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of repetitions of a downlink transmission from a base station;
• and
• when the plurality of repetitions span multiple frames, determining whether the base station transmits at least one repetition of the downlink transmission in a first frame.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment, comprising:
