Claim
1. A method for transmitting, by a base station, a control signal or data for a low cost user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting information on frequency hopping for the low cost UE; and transmitting the control signal or data to the low cost UE according to the information on frequency hopping.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on frequency hopping indicates whether or not the low cost UE is configured with frequency hopping.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on frequency hopping includes a first frequency hopping configuration for the control signal and a second frequency hopping configuration for the data.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the control signal includes at least one of a paging or a system information block (SIB).
5. The method of claim 4, wherein a prefixed frequency hopping pattern is determined based on at least one of a cell identifier (ID), an offset or a system frame number (SFN), and
wherein the SIB is transmitted by the prefixed frequency hopping pattern.
6. The method of claim 4, wherein the information on frequency hopping includes a frequency hopping pattern for the SIB, and
wherein the SIB is transmitted by the frequency hopping pattern.
7. The method of claim 4, wherein the information on frequency hopping indicates an offset and a number of subbands used for cell broadcast data.
8. The method of claim 4, wherein the at least one of the paging or the SIB is transmitted on fixed subbands.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the fixed subbands correspond to center 6 physical resource blocks (PRBs) of a system bandwidth or two subbands in edge of the system bandwidth.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein frequency hopping is used between the two subbands in edge of the system bandwidth.
11. The method of claim 1, wherein the data includes at least one of cell broadcast data or unicast data.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the information on frequency hopping includes a third frequency hopping configuration for the cell broadcast data and a fourth frequency hopping configuration for the unicast data.
13. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on frequency hopping is transmitted via a master information block (MIB).
14. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on frequency hopping is transmitted via a SIB.
15. A base station comprising:
a memory; a transceiver; and a processor, coupled to the memory and the transceiver, configured to: control the transceiver to transmit information on frequency hopping for a low cost user equipment (UE), control the transceiver to transmit the control signal or data to the lost cost UE according to the information on frequency hopping.
