The method of claim 3 , wherein the scheduling information is received on several subframes after a first period from the last subframe among several subframes in which the MIB is received and the plurality of first type SIBs are received on several subframes after a second period from a last subframe among several subframes in which the scheduling information is received.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein after a predetermined period from the last subframe among several subframes in which the MIB is received, the scheduling information and the plurality of first type SIBs are simultaneously received on several consecutive subframes.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a first type SIB for a legacy user equipment (UE),

wherein, in the decoding of the plurality of first type SIBs for the MTC device, the first type SIB for the legacy UE and the plurality of first type SIBs for the MTC device are combined and decoded.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a first type SIB for a legacy user equipment (UE),

wherein the plurality of first type SIBs for the MTC device and the first type SIB for the legacy UE are received on different resource blocks (RBs) on the same subframes.

9. A machine type communication (MTC) device, comprising:

a transceiver configured to:

repeatedly receive, from a base station, scheduling information regarding a plurality of first type system information blocks (SIBs) for the MTC device through physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) on several subframes, and

receive, from the base station, the plurality of first type SIBs for the MTC device on multiple successive subframes through physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) based on the scheduling information; and

a processor configured to:
