1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a network device, that a user equipment is entering a first frequency band coverage area provided by the network device;
determining, by the network device, that the user equipment is a power sensitive device or a narrow band device;
receiving, by the network device, multiple carrier information associated with the network device based on determining that the user equipment is a power sensitive device or a narrow band device;
processing, by the network device, the multiple carrier information to determine a quantity of repetitions to extend uplink coverage for the user equipment; and
enabling, by the network device, the quantity of repetitions to extend the uplink coverage for the user equipment.
