    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for optimizing real time services (e.g., such as a voice over Long Term Evolution (LTE) (VoLTE)) for devices with limited communications resources, such as machine type communication (MTC) devices and enhanced MTC (eMTC) devices. In one aspect, a UE determines a first configuration of subframes within at least one radio frame available for the UE and other UEs to use for bundled communications with a BS. The UE receives an indication of one or more subframes within the at least one radio frame that are unavailable for bundled uplink transmissions, and determines a second configuration of subframes to use for bundled communications based on the indication. The UE overrides the first configuration of subframes with the second configuration of subframes, and communicates with the BS using the second configuration of subframes. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The present disclosure provides a solution by supporting one or more narrowband TDD frame structure(s) for narrowband communications. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may determine to transmit a narrowband physical downlink channel in a subframe in a narrowband TDD frame structure of a plurality of narrowband TDD frame structures for narrowband communications. In addition, the apparatus may determine whether the subframe is a special subframe or a downlink subframe when the narrowband TDD frame structure includes one or more special subframes. Further, the apparatus may determine how to transmit a narrowband physical downlink channel based on the determination whether the subframe is a special subframe or a downlink subframe. Additionally, the apparatus may transmit the narrowband physical downlink channel.
