Method for performing machine type communication for the purpose of coverage improvement, apparatuses and systems for performing the same
First Claim
1. A device for receiving a downlink communication from a base station to the device, the device comprising:
- a transceiver that transmits and receives a radio signal; and
a processor operatively coupled with the transceiver and configured to;
receive system information, control information and/or data from the base station using a system bandwidth;
wherein the system information includes at least one of a Master Information Block (MIB) and a System Information Block (SIB),wherein the system information, the control information and/or the data is received from the base station repetitively,wherein the reception of the Master Information Block (MIB) relates to a reception of same signal repetitively and a reception of same data with different types of signal repetitively,wherein the different types of signal is a signal encoded differently, andwherein a frequency hopping pattern is generated by using a combination of a cell identifier (ID), a System Frame Number (SFN) and a subframe index.

Abstract
A method of performing a downlink machine type communication from a base station to a MTC (machine type communication) terminal includes, at the base station, transmitting at least one of a system information—the system information excluding a Master Information Block (MIB)—, a control information and data to the MTC terminal using a system bandwidth having a predetermined size. The base station performs frequency hopping using a frequency hopping pattern in a unit of narrow band on the at least one of the system information—the system information excluding a Master Information Block (MIB)—, the control information and the data to transmit to the MTC terminal, and the narrow band is less than the system bandwidth.

11. A method of performing a downlink communication from a base station to a terminal, the method comprising:
-
transmitting, by the base station, system information, control information and/or data to the terminal using a system bandwidth, wherein the system information includes at least one of a Master Information Block (MIB) and a System Information Block (SIB), wherein the system information, the control information and/or the data is transmitted by the base station repetitively, wherein a frame includes a plurality of subframes, and each frame is distinguished by a System Frame Number (SFN), wherein the transmission of the Master Information Block (MIB) relates to a transmission of same signal repetitively and/or a transmission of same data with different types of signal repetitively, and wherein the transmission of same signal repetitively and the transmission of same data with different types of signal repetitively includes; repetitively transmitting same data with the different types of signal encoded differently during repetitive transmission of the Master Information Block (MIB); and repetitively transmitting the same signal which is the same as the different types of signal, wherein a frequency hopping pattern is generated by using a combination of a cell identifier (ID), the System Frame Number (SFN) and a subframe index. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
