Abstract

The present disclosure relates to communication schemes for combining 5G communication systems with IoT technology to support higher data transmission rate as post-4G systems and systems for the same. The present disclosure may be used in intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, or connected car, health-care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.) based on the 5G communication technology and IoT-related techniques. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for transmitting control information in a wireless communication system comprises generating a header including a plurality of MAC subheaders and a medium access control (MAC) control information including a control field indicating whether there are included information related to a power headroom for a primary cell (PCell) and information regarding secondary cells (SCells) reportable to an extended power headroom and transmitting a payload including the MAC control information and the header, wherein the control field indicating activation or deactivation of at least one of the SCells.

wherein the first SIB further includes information indicating an extended system frame number (SFN) for a machine type communication UE, and

wherein the first SIB or the second SIB further includes at least one of:

information indicating a number of repetition transmission of a preamble associated with a random access for the machine type communication UE,

information on a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource associated with the random access for the machine type communication UE, or

information on at least one threshold associated with the PRACH resource for the machine type communication UE.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP);

determining a repetition level for the repetition transmission of the preamble based on a comparison result of the RSRP with the at least one threshold; and

transmitting, to the BS, the preamble based on the number of the repetition transmission associated with the determined repetition level.

6. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
