Abstract
The present invention provides a method for transmitting a downlink signal, which is suitable for narrow-band systems such as NB-IOT, eMTC and MMTC, a base station for executing the method, and a user equipment. The method comprises: receiving a master information block; parsing a field in the received master information block, the field being used to indicate a starting OFDM symbol for downlink reception; and receiving a downlink signal according to the parsed starting OFDM symbol.

-16. (canceled)
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- determination circuitry configured to determine a parameter for receiving downlink control channel, based on operation mode information;
- and
- reception circuitry configured to receive the downlink control channel, wherein
- the operation mode information is included in a Master Information Block (MIB), and
- the parameter indicates a starting OFDM symbol for the downlink control channel in a first slot in a subframe.
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) comprising:
- determining a parameter for receiving downlink control channel, based on operation mode information;
- and
- receiving the downlink control channel in accordance with the parameter, wherein
- the operation mode information is included in a Master Information Block (MIB), and
- the parameter indicates a starting OFDM symbol for the downlink control channel in a first slot in a subframe.
A base station comprising:
- generation circuitry configured to generate operation mode information which causes a user equipment (UE) to determine a parameter for receiving downlink control channel, wherein the parameter indicates a starting OFDM symbol for the downlink control channel in a first slot in a subframe;
- transmission circuitry configured to transmit the operation mode information in a Master Information Block (MIB);
- wherein
- the transmission circuitry is configured to transmit the downlink control channel in accordance with the starting OFDM symbol.
A method performed by a base station comprising:
- generating operation mode information which causes a user equipment (UE) to determine a parameter for receiving downlink control channel, wherein the parameter indicates a starting OFDM symbol for the downlink control channel in a first slot in a subframe;
- transmitting the operation mode information in a Master Information Block (MIB);
- and
- transmitting the downlink control channel in accordance with the starting OFDM symbol.
