The method according to claim 1 , wherein based on the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB not being present in the subframe #3 of a frame, the subframe #3 of the frame is determined to be a valid downlink subframe, and at least one of a NPDCCH (Narrowband Physical Downlink Control CHannel) or a NPDSCH (Narrowband Physical Downlink Shared CHannel) is received in the subframe #3 of the frame.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein based on the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB being present in the subframe #3 of a frame, the subframe #3 of the frame is determined to be an invalid downlink subframe.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB is received on an anchor carrier.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein whether the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB are transmitted on an anchor carrier or a non-anchor carrier is indicated by the MIB-NB.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the MIB-NB further includes position information about the non-anchor carrier transmitting the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB, and

wherein the at least one of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB is received based on the position information.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB are repeated based on the number of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the information indicating whether the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB are present is included in an otherwise unused bit of the MIB-NB.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein whether the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB are present is determined based on at least one of a code rate of the SIB1-NB, a transport block size (TBS) of the SIB1-NB, the number of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB, an operation mode of NB-IoT (Narrow Band-Internet of Things), a number of NRS antenna ports, or a number of CRS (Cell-specific Reference Signal) antenna ports.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein for the number of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB being equal to 4 or 8, the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB are not present, and

wherein for the number of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB being equal to 16, the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB are repeated for a same number of times as the number of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein based on the SIB1-NB being changed, whether the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB are present is indicated by the changed SIB1-NB.

12. A method of transmitting a signal to a user equipment by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to the user equipment, a Master Information Block-Narrow Band (MIB-NB) which comprises (i) scheduling information regarding a number of repeated transmissions of System Information Block1-Narrow Band (SIB1-NB), and (ii) information indicating whether additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB, in addition to the number of the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB, are present; and

transmitting, to the user equipment, the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB based on the scheduling information in the MIB-NB, wherein each of the repeated transmissions of SIB1-NB is transmitted in a subframe #4 within each frame of a plurality of frames, with each frame defined by 10 subframes indexed from subframe #0 to subframe #9,

wherein the subframe #3, within the each frame in which the at least one of the additional transmissions of the SIB1-NB is transmitted, also includes a Narrowband Reference Signal (NRS).

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the repeated transmissions of the SIB1-NB are transmitted on an anchor carrier.
