Abstract

Various communication systems may benefit from identification of and communication of coverage shortfall. For example, certain communication systems that employ machine type communication devices may benefit from having such shortfall communicated from the devices to a base station. For example, a method can include determining an amount of coverage shortfall of a device. The method can also include transmitting an indication of the amount of coverage shortfall.
