Abstract
The present invention provides a method for transmitting a downlink signal, which is suitable for narrow-band systems such as NB-IOT, eMTC and MMTC, a base station for executing the method, and a user equipment. The method comprises: receiving a master information block; parsing a field in the received master information block, the field being used to indicate a starting OFDM symbol for downlink reception; and receiving a downlink signal according to the parsed starting OFDM symbol.
