Abstract
A method and apparatus for allocating resources to a low cost user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. A base station (BS) allocates at least one sub-bandwidth among a system bandwidth to a low cost UE, and transmits information on the allocated at least one sub-bandwidth to the low cost UE. The at least one sub-bandwidth may include a set of resource physical resource blocks (PRBs) that the low cost UE can access at a given subframe.
Claims15
A method for allocating, by a base station (BS), resources to a low cost user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- allocating at least one sub-bandwidth among a system bandwidth to a low cost UE;
- and
- transmitting information on the allocated at least one sub-bandwidth to the low cost UE.
A base station (BS) comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, and configured to:
- allocate at least one sub-bandwidth among a system bandwidth to a low cost user equipment (UE);
- and
- control the transceiver to transmit information on the allocated at least one sub-bandwidth to the low cost UE.
