Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting cell-broadcast data in a wireless communication system is provided. A base station determines a transport block size (TBS) based on an aggregation level, and transmits the cell-broadcast data to a machine-type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) by using the TBS. That is, different TBSs may be determined based on different aggregation levels.
Claims14
A method for transmitting, by a base station, cell-broadcast data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- determining, by the base station, a transport block size (TBS) based on an aggregation level and a maximum coverage enhancement level that the base station supports,
- wherein the TBS is determined to be small if the maximum coverage enhancement level that the base station supports is large, and
- wherein the TBS is determined to be large if the maximum coverage enhancement level that the base station supports is small;
- and
- transmitting, by the base station, the cell-broadcast data to a machine-type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) by using the TBS.

A base station comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, and configured to:
- determine a transport block size (TBS) based on an aggregation level and a maximum coverage enhancement level that the base station supports,
- wherein the TBS is determined to be small if the maximum coverage enhancement level that the base station supports is large, and
- wherein the TBS is determined to be large if the maximum coverage enhancement level that the base station supports is small;
- and
- control the transceiver to transmit a cell-broadcast data to a machine-type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) by using the TBS.
