Systems, apparatus, user equipment (UE), evolved node B(eNB), and methods are described for machine-type communications (MTC) with narrowband deployment comprising including MTC Physical Control Format Indicator (M-PCFICH). One embodiment includes control circuitry configured to determine a super-frame structure, wherein the super-frame structure is set, at least in part, on a bandwidth of the narrowband deployment. The embodiment further comprises circuitry to determine configuration information for a UE in communication with the eNB, generate a configuration for an MTC Control Format Indicator (M-CFI) for the UE to indicate the determined configuration information, and transmit the M-CFI through a narrowband M-PCFICH within the super-frame structure. |
