Pucch for mtc devices

[0046]The described features generally relate to improved systems, methods, or apparatuses for a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH) with Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices. Some wireless systems may provide for automated communication such as MTC or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. M2M or MTC may refer to technologies that communicate without human intervention. In some cases, MTC devices may have limited capabilities. For example, while some MTC devices may have broadband capacity, other MTC devices may be limited to narrowband communications. This narrowband limitation may, for example, interfere with the ability of an MTC device to receive control channel information using the full bandwidth served by a base station. In some wireless communication systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), an MTC device having limited bandwidth capability (or another device with similar capabilities) may be referred to as a category 0 device.
