    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for machine type communication (MTC), the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station (such as an Evolved Node-B (eNB)). The RRC signaling indicates activation of flexible starting physical resource block (PRB) for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource allocation. DCI received on an MTC physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) is decoded, the DCI indicating a narrowband (NB) index of a NB frequency resource and at least one PRB index for the PDSCH resource allocation. The NB frequency resource indicated by the NB index is shifted based on the activation of the flexible starting PRB for PDSCH resource allocation. PDSCH data received from the base station using the shifted NB frequency resource is decoded.

    Abstract: Resource allocation techniques for D2D communications are described. In one embodiment, for example, user equipment may comprise one or more radio frequency (RF) transceivers, one or more RF antennas, and logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive a D2D control information (D2DCI) message comprising D2D transmission pattern (DTP) information, identify a set of D2D transmission resources based on the DTP information, and send one or more D2D data messages using the set of D2D transmission resources. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for mapping media access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs) that are used to transmit scheduling assignment (SA) discovery, and/or device-to-device (D2D) data. Embodiments herein may describe how one or more MAC PDUs may be mapped into a time resource pattern for transmissions (T-RPT). Embodiments herein may further describe examples of how and when a UE may skip subframes in transmissions of the SA and/or data. Additionally, embodiments herein may further describe examples of how a UE may behave if the UE cannot transmit one or more scheduled instances of SA or data. Additionally, embodiments herein may describe resolution of collisions of D2D discovery messages in the time domain. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
