1. A method performed by a base station (BS) and comprising:
- configuring a radio frame which consists of N subframes,wherein a first subframe of the radio frame scheduled for a first machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) is used as frequency retuning subframe by a second MTC UE, and a last subframe of the radio frame scheduled for the second MTE UE is used as frequency retuning subframe by the first MTE UE; and
communicating with the first MTC UE and the second MTC UE based on the radio frame, by using a frequency hopping which is configured in every N subframes,wherein the radio frame is configured based on a period, an offset and a duration of an MTC downlink control information (M-DCI) region, andwherein the offset is configured differently for the first MTC UE and the second MTE UE.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for communicating with a machine type communication user equipment (MTC UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. A base station (BS) configures a radio frame for the MTC UE based on a duration of a frequency hopping subframe group (FH-SFG), and communicates with the MTC UE by using the configured radio frame.

10. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
-
a memory configured to store information; a transceiver configured to transmit and receive information; and a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, the processor configured to; configure a radio frame which consists of N subframes, wherein a first subframe of the radio frame scheduled for a first machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) is used as frequency retuning subframe by a second MTC UE, and a last subframe of the radio frame scheduled for the second MTE UE is used as frequency retuning subframe by the first MTE UE; and control the transceiver to communicate with the first MTC UE and the second MTC UE based on the radio frame, by using a frequency hopping which is configured in every N subframes, wherein the radio frame is configured based on a period, an offset and a duration of an MTC downlink control information (M-DCI) region, and wherein the offset is configured differently for the first MTC UE and the second MTE UE. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
