Patent ID: 10433279

Abstract:
Disclosed are a detailed method and apparatus for receiving multicast data by an IoT UE required to operate with low power and at low cost. Further disclosed are a method and an apparatus for processing multicast data by a Bandwidth-reduced Low-complexity (BL) UE, a Coverage-Enhancement (CE) UE, or a NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT) UE. A method of receiving single-cell multicast data by a UE includes receiving carrier information for Single Cell-Multicast Control Channel (SC-MCCH) reception through system information, monitoring SC-MCCH scheduling information on a PDCCH based on the carrier information, and receiving an SC-MCCH on a PDSCH based on the SC-MCCH scheduling information. The UE is configured to be allowed to access a network service having a channel bandwidth limited to 200 kHz or lower or to operate in a bandwidth limited to 6 PRBs.
