Abstract
The present invention provides a method for transmitting downlink signals, which is suitable for narrow-band systems such as NB-IOT, eMTC and MMTC, and a base station and a user equipment for performing the method. The method comprises: detecting synchronization signals; determining a starting OFDM symbol for downlink reception according to the detected synchronization signals; and receiving downlink signals according to the determined starting OFDM symbol.
