SPATIAL AND FREQUENCY DIVERSITY DESIGN FOR MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATIONS (MTC)

摘要

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications, and more specifically to increased diversity for devices with limited communications resources. An example method generally includes transmitting data as a bundled transmission to a device with limited communications resources, the bundled transmission comprising multiple bursts wherein each burst spans a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs) and the same data is transmitted in each burst, and taking action to increase diversity (e.g., at least one of spatial diversity, time diversity, frequency diversity, etc.) for the bundled transmission.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
transmitting data as a bundled transmission to a device with limited communications resources, the bundled transmission comprising multiple bursts wherein each burst spans a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs) and the same data is transmitted in each burst; and increasing at least one of spatial diversity, time diversity, or frequency diversity for the bundled transmission.
