Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for supporting a variable bandwidth in a wireless communication system. A wireless device receives first system information in a base band and receives second system information in a limited band. The first system information comprises information indicating the limited band.

Claims (22)

1. A method for supporting variable bandwidth in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, first system information in a base band; and

receiving, by the wireless device, second system information in a restricted band,

wherein the first system information comprises first band information indicating the restricted band for the reception of the second system information,

wherein the first or second system information includes second band information indicating a specific band for receiving a random access response, and

wherein the second band information is included within the first or second system information only when a contention-based random access procedure is applied.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base band and the restricted band have a smaller bandwidth than a system bandwidth.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first and second system information are received on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with the PDSCH is monitored in the system bandwidth.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base band and the restricted band have a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz.

6. A device for supporting variable bandwidth in a wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the receiver, wherein the processor controls the receiver to:

receive first system information in a base band; and

receive second system information in a restricted band,

wherein the first system information comprises first band information indicating the restricted band for the reception of the second system information,

wherein the first or second system information includes second band information indicating a specific band for receiving a random access response, and

wherein the second band information is included within the first or second system information only when a contention-based random access procedure is applied.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the base band and the restricted band have a smaller bandwidth than a system bandwidth.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the first and second system information are received on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with the PDSCH is monitored at the system bandwidth.

10. The device of claim 6 , wherein the base band and the restricted band have a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz.
