Machine-to-machine (m2m) terminal, base station, method, and computer readable medium

A coverage enhancement capable user equipment comprising:

• a radio transceiver configured to communicate with a base station;
• and
• a controller, wherein
• the controller configured to:
• receive, in a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) from the base station, a master information block message that includes information associated with a repetition number of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carrying a system information block type 1 message for the coverage enhancement;
• receive, in the PDSCH from the base station, one or more system information block messages that include the system information block type 1 message for the coverage enhancement;
• and
• transmit, to the base station, a random access preamble with repetition by using one or more specific radio resources for the coverage enhancement.

A base station comprising:

• a radio transceiver configured to communicate with a coverage enhancement capable user equipment;
