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, and wherein 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.
