Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for a base station transmitting a downlink signal for a machine-type communication (MTC) terminal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving PBCH, PRACH, PDSCH, PDCCH or EPDCCH for a low cost and enhanced coverage MTC terminal, and an apparatus therefor. Particularly, provided are an apparatus and a method for a base station transmitting a control channel, the method comprising the steps of repeatedly transmitting a control channel comprising control information, and repeatedly transmitting downlink data channel (PDSCH) on the basis of information for a subframe ending the control channel being repeatedly transmitted.

Claim (Index 15):
A base station transmitting a control channel, the base station comprising:\n a control unit that determines a specific subframe in which repetition transmission of a control channel starts; and a transmitting unit that repeatedly transmits the control channel including control information from the specific subframe and repeatedly transmits a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) after the repeatedly transmitted control channel ends in a subframe, wherein the control channel is transmitting in a data region, and wherein when the specific subframe is included in a subset of at least two subframes, and the control unit determines the specific subframe as one of the subframes in the subset of at least two subframes, and wherein transmission of the downlink data channel starts at an n+k-th (k>0, natural number) subframe, where the subframe in which the repeatedly transmitted control channel ends is n and where k is a value that is fixed regardless of the number of times of repetition transmission of the control channel.
