Abstract
The present invention addresses a method, apparatus and computer program product for enabling enhanced repetition transmission for downlink control signal to improve machine type communication coverage. One or a plurality of downlink control channel signaling window lengths is/are predefined, a start position of a window in which repetition of download control signal is allowed is determined based on the determined control channel signaling window length for each window length, and transmission of repetition of download control signal is caused at the determined start position in the respective obtained window length.
