Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless access system supporting machine type communication (MTC), and to various methods for an MTC terminal transmitting/receiving data. A method for an MTC terminal receiving data in a wireless access system supporting MTC, as one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: receiving a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index indicating a MCS, and a physical resource block (PRB) index indicating the size of a PRB allocated to a MTC terminal; checking a transport block size (TBS) index that is mapped with the MCS index and deriving a TBS on the basis of the TBS index and the PRB index; and on the basis of the TBS, decoding a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in order to receive data. Here, the size of the MCS index is configured to be a 4-bit size, and the TBS index may be configured so as to support only from 0 to 9 for the MTC terminal.

Claims (48)

1. A method for receiving data by a machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) in a wireless access system supporting an MTC, the method comprising:

receiving a higher layer signal comprising information on a set of repetition numbers for the data, wherein the set of repetition numbers is related to a coverage enhance (CE) level of the MTC UE;

receiving modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information on an MCS index and resource allocation information for the MTC UE;

obtaining a transmission block size (TBS) based on a TBS index and the resource allocation information,

wherein the TBS index is obtained based on the MCS index,

wherein the TBS index is within a predetermined range,

wherein the predetermined range is configured to a part of TBS indexes, from 0 to 9, included in a TBS table, and

wherein the TBS table is configured to support a legacy UE; and

receiving the data repeatedly based on the set of repetition numbers and the TBS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TBS is obtained based on the TBS index, the resource allocation information and a repetition number of the set of repetition numbers.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MCS information is configured to have a 4-bit size.

4. A machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) for receiving data in a wireless access system supporting an MTC, the MTC UE comprising:

a memory; and,

at least one processor coupled with the memory and configured to:

receive a higher layer signal comprising information on a set of repetition numbers for the data, wherein the set of repetition numbers is related to a coverage enhance (CE) level of the MTC UE;

receive modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information on an MCS index and resource allocation information for the MTC UE; and

obtain a transmission block size (TBS) based on a TBS index and the resource allocation information,

wherein the TBS index is obtained based on the MCS index,

wherein the TBS index is within a predetermined range,

wherein the predetermined range is configured to a part of TBS indexes, from 0 to 9, included in a TBS table, and

wherein the TBS table is configured to support a legacy UE; and

receive the data repeatedly based on the set of repetition numbers and the TBS.

5. The MTC UE of claim 4 , wherein the TBS is obtained based on the TBS index, the resource allocation information and a repetition number of the set of repetition numbers.

6. The MTC UE according of claim 4 , wherein the MCS information is configured to have a 4-bit size.

7. A method for transmitting data by a base station in a wireless access system supporting a machine type communication (MTC), the method comprising:

transmitting, to an MTC user equipment (MTC UE), a higher layer signal comprising information on a set of repetition numbers for the data, wherein the set of repetition numbers is related to a coverage enhance (CE) level of the MTC UE;

transmitting, to the MTC UE, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information on an MCS index and resource allocation information for the MTC UE; and

transmitting, to the MTC UE, the data repeatedly based on the set of repetition numbers and a transmission block size (TBS),

wherein the TBS is obtained based on a TBS index and the resource allocation information,

wherein the TBS index is obtained based on the MCS index,

wherein the TBS index is within a predetermined range,

wherein the predetermined range is configured to a part of TBS indexes, from 0 to 9, included in a TBS table, and

wherein the TBS table is configured to support a legacy UE.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the TBS is obtained based on the TBS index, the resource allocation information and a repetition number of the set of repetition numbers.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the MCS information is configured to have a 4-bit size.

10. A base station for transmitting data in a wireless access system supporting a machine type communication (MTC), the base station comprising:

a memory; and,

at least one processor coupled with the memory and configured to:

transmit, to an MTC user equipment (MTC UE), a higher layer signal comprising information on a set of repetition numbers for the data, wherein the set of repetition numbers is related to a coverage enhance (CE) level of the MTC UE;

transmit, to the MTC UE, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information on an MCS index and resource allocation information for the MTC UE; and

transmit, to the MTC UE, the data repeatedly based on the set of repetition numbers and a transmission block size (TBS),

wherein the TBS is obtained based on a TBS index and the resource allocation information,

wherein the TBS index is obtained based on the MCS index,

wherein the TBS index is within a predetermined range,

wherein the predetermined range is configured to a part of TBS indexes, from 0 to 9, included in a TBS table, and

wherein the TBS table is configured to support a legacy UE.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the TBS is obtained based on the TBS index, the resource allocation information and a repetition number of the set of repetition numbers.

12. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the MCS information is configured to have a 4-bit size.
