1. A method performed by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a configuration of a cell-specific frequency hopping pattern to a machine type communication user equipment (MTC UE) via system information;
allocating a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),wherein a change in frequency location of the PDSCH, by a frequency hopping in every specific number of subframes, is related to a frequency hopping granularity and based on the cell-specific frequency hopping pattern; and
transmitting data to the MTC UE via the PDSCH,wherein the frequency hopping granularity is configured based on a coverage enhancement (CE) level of the MTC UE.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting data to a machine type communication user equipment (MTC UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. A base station (BS) configures a frequency hopping in every specific number of subframes which corresponds to a frequency hopping granularity, and transmits data to the MTC UE by using the configured frequency hopping.
