METHOD FOR ALLOTTING SYSTEM BANDWIDTH IN WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM SUPPORTING MACHINE-TYPE COMMUNICATION AND APPRATUS FOR SUPPORTING SAME

摘要

The present invention is used for a wireless access system supporting a machine type communication (MTC), and provides a method for allotting a new system bandwidth for MTC and an apparatus for supporting the same. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for allotting a system bandwidth for an MTC terminal in a wireless access system supporting a machine type communication (MTC) includes the steps of: causing an MTC terminal to receive an upper layer signal containing the system bandwidth indication information representing an MTC system bandwidth allotted to the MTC terminal; and causing the MTC terminal to transmit uplink control information through the MTC system bandwidth represented by the system bandwidth indication information. In this case, the MTC system bandwidth can be constructed by connecting to a legacy system bandwidth in the direction of the frequency axis.
