Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for transmission time interval (TTI) bundling for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in long term evolution (LTE). According to certain aspects a method is provided for wireless communications. The method may be performed, for example, by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes identifying a transmit time interval (TTI) bundle comprising a subset of subframes from a set of subframes for transmitting data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and receiving the data on the PDSCH in the subset of subframes.
