Method performed by user equipment, method performed by evolved Node B, user equipment, and evolved Node B
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes performing a random access procedure in a first downlink frequency resource and/or a first uplink frequency resource; in the random access procedure, monitoring an NPDCCH in the first downlink frequency resource; detecting an NPDCCH in the first downlink frequency resource; transmitting, to an evolved Node B (eNB), a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH) on a second uplink frequency resource based on detection of the NPDCCH on the first downlink frequency resource, in a case that the NPDCCH contains an uplink (UL) grant for contention resolution; and receiving, from the evolved Node B (eNB), a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) on a second downlink frequency resource based on detection of the NPDCCH on the first downlink frequency resource, in a case that the NPDCCH contains a downlink (DL) assignment for contention resolution.

monitoring a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) in a first downlink (DL) frequency resource on a DL anchor carrier;
detecting the NPDCCH in the first DL frequency resource on the DL anchor carrier;
transmitting, to an evolved Node B (eNB), a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH) on a second uplink (UL) frequency resource on a UL non-anchor carrier based on detection of the NPDCCH on the first DL frequency resource, in a case that the NPDCCH contains a UL grant for contention resolution; and
receiving, from the eNB, a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) on a second DL frequency resource on a DL non-anchor carrier based on detection of the NPDCCH on the first DL frequency resource, in a case that the NPDCCH contains a DL assignment for contention resolution.
