## Abstract

A terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may: monitor a PDCCH in a search space for a specific multicast service to be received so as to receive downlink control information (DCI) in which a CRC is scrambled by a specific RNTI; repeatedly receive a TB related to the specific multicast service on a multicast frequency part on the basis of the DCI; and transmit, after repetition of the TB, an HARQ-ACK indicating a result of decoding of the TB through a PUCCH resource indicated by the DCI, wherein the specific RNTI is a group-RNTI (G-RNTI) associated with the specific multicast service that the terminal is to receive.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of receiving a signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space for a specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive;
receiving downlink control information (DCI) having a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) as a result of monitoring the PDCCH;
repeatedly receiving a transport block (TB) related to the specific multicast service in a multicast frequency part based on the DCI; and
transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) indicating a decoding result of the TB on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicated by the DCI after the repetition of the TB,
wherein the specific RNTI is a group-RNTI (G-RNTI) associated with the specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the DCI includes at least one of information on a number of times that the TB is repeated or information on the multicast frequency part.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the search space is located in an active frequency part of the UE.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the active frequency part of the UE is different from the multicast frequency part.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein after completing the repetition of the TB in the multicast frequency part, the UE is configured to return to the active frequency part of the UE and transmit the HARQ-ACK.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the search space is associated with a service identifier (ID) of the specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the search space is selected based on a service identifier (ID) of the specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive from among a plurality of search spaces.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the TB is a TB on a traffic channel for the specific multicast service.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein based on a failure of decoding the TB even after repeating the TB by a number of times indicated by the DCI, the UE is configured to the HARQ-ACK to a negative acknowledgement (NACK).

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1.

### Claim 11

A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor configured to control the transceiver to:
monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space for a specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive;
receive downlink control information (DCI) having a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) as a result of monitoring the PDCCH;
repeatedly receive a transport block (TB) related to the specific multicast service in a multicast frequency part based on the DCI; and
transmit a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) indicating a decoding result of the TB on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicated by the DCI after the repetition of the TB,
wherein the specific RNTI is a group-RNTI (G-RNTI) associated with the specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive.

### Claim at position 12

12-13. (canceled)

### Claim 14

A base station configured to transmit a signal in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor configured to:
generate downlink control information (DCI) having a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI);
control the transceiver to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying the DCI in a search space for a specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive;
control the transceiver to repeatedly transmit a transport block (TB) related to the specific multicast service in a multicast frequency part based on the DCI; and
control the transceiver to receive a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) indicating a decoding result of the TB by the UE on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicated by the DCI after the repetition of the TB,
wherein the specific RNTI is a group-RNTI (G-RNTI) associated with the specific multicast service that the UE desires to receive.
