Abstract
Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving a signal by an MTC UE. The method may include: receiving information on the maximum coverage enhancement level from a base station; determining a coverage enhancement level value for transmitting an uplink signal on the basis of the information on the maximum coverage enhancement level; and repetitively transmitting, a predetermined number of times, the uplink signal according to the coverage enhancement level value.
Claims20
A method for a machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) to receive a downlink signal, the method comprising:
- monitoring a common region and a UE-specific region which are configured for the MTC UE;
- receiving common control information or scheduling information on the common control information, through the common region;
- and
- receiving UE-specific control information or a downlink data channel (PDSCH) according to the UE-specific control information, through the UE-specific region.
(canceled)
A method for a base station to transmit a downlink signal, the method comprising:
- configuring a common region and a UE-specific region for a machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE);
- transmitting common control information or scheduling information on the common control information, through the common region;
- and
- transmitting UE-specific control information or a downlink data channel (PDSCH) according to the UE-specific control information, through the UE-specific region.
(canceled)
A machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) for receiving downlink signal, the MTC UE comprising:
- a controller configured to monitor a common region and a UE-specific region which are configured for the MTC UE;
- and
- a receiving unit configured to receive common control information or scheduling information on the common control information, through the common region and UE-specific control information or a downlink data channel (PDSCH) according to the UE-specific control information, through the UE-specific region.
(canceled)
A base station to transmit a downlink signal, the base station comprising:
- a controller configured to configure a common region and a UE-specific region for a machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE);
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit common control information or scheduling information on the common control information, through the common region and UE-specific control information or a downlink data channel (PDSCH) according to the UE-specific control information, through the UE-specific region.
