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,wherein the common value varies according to the coverage level, andwherein a repetition level used for the frequency hopping varies according to the coverage level,wherein, when the common value is variable according to the coverage level, the common value is transmitted to a Machine Type Communication (MTC) terminal or an MTC device via a System Information Block (SIB) message.

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.
