Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service for a low-complexity user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. In one embodiment, a UE requiring coverage enhancement receives information on repetition for coverage enhancement, and receives the MBMS service according to the information repetition for coverage enhancement.
Claims14
A method for receiving, by a user equipment (UE) requiring coverage enhancement, a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving information on repetition for coverage enhancement;
- and
- receiving the MBMS service according to the information repetition for coverage enhancement.
A method for providing, by a base station (BS), a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- multiplexing a subband physical multicast channel (PMCH) with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a subframe;
- and
- transmitting the MBMS service to a user equipment (UE) requiring coverage enhancement (CE) in the subframe,
- wherein the subband PMCH is a PMCH allocated to a smaller bandwidth than a system bandwidth for the UE requiring CE.
