Method and apparatus for supporting operation of standalone MTC that uses multi-narrowband in wireless communication system

A user equipment (UE) supporting a standalone machine type communication (MTC) operation using a multi-narrowband (NB) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor connected to the transceiver and the memory,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive, from a base station, multi-NB configuration information related to a plurality of narrowbands (NBs) defined in a next generation (NR) bandwidth including a first system bandwidth related to an in-band MTC operation and a second system bandwidth related to the standalone MTC operation;
• and
• perform a frequency hopping on the plurality of NBs based on the multi-NB configuration information,
• wherein when the plurality of NBs include an anchor-NB representing a NB related to an initial cell selection, the frequency hopping is performed on the plurality of NBs except the anchor-NB,
• wherein the first system bandwidth is an eMTC system bandwidth supporting only a long term evolution (LTE) in-band operation,
• wherein the second system bandwidth is a sMTC system bandwidth supporting a standalone operation,
• based on the anchor-NB not supporting an access for an eMTC UE, receiving, from the base station, a system message containing eMTC barring information being related to supporting the eMTC UE,
• based on the eMTC barring information related to supporting the eMTC UE, receiving data from the base station in a LTE control region.
