METHODS FOR PERFORMING MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method of performing a machine type communication in a wireless communication, the method comprising:
- at a base station, performing a frequency hopping on system information, control information and data, wherein the frequency hopping is performed using a frequency hopping pattern, wherein the system information on which the frequency hopping is performed excludes a Master Information Block (MIB),wherein a granularity for the frequency hopping pattern varies according to a coverage level,wherein when the granularity for the frequency hopping pattern is set as a common value, the common value varies according to the coverage level, andwherein a repetition level used for the frequency hopping varies according to the coverage level.

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.

16. A method of performing a random access procedure between Machine Type Communication (MTC) terminal or an MTC device and a base station, the method comprising:
-
at the base station, performing a synchronization with the MTC terminal or the MTC device; and at the base station, transmitting-a system information to the MTC terminal or the MTC device, wherein a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) signal is used to distinguish an MTC coverage extension terminal or an MTC coverage extension device or an MTC coverage extension device from a general MTC terminal or a general MTC device, and wherein a frequency hopping is performed on the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) signal that is to be transmitted to the base station. - View Dependent Claims (18)
