Abstract
There are provided a method for use in an advanced wireless communication network, and a system (20) therefor. In these method and system (20), a base station (300) provides, to a radio device (100), a first control message on a first channel. The first control message indicates: a presence of a second control message on a second channel; and a coverage enhancement configuration of the second control message. The base station (300) also provides, to the radio device (100), the second control message on the second channel according to the coverage enhancement configuration. The first control message enables the radio device (100) to determine the presence of the second control message in order to be able to selectively process messages on the second channel.
