Apparatus and method for supporting periodic multicast transmission in machine type communication system

摘要

An apparatus and a method for supporting periodic multicast transmission in a machine type communication system are provided. A method for operating a Base Station (BS) in a communication system includes allocating persistent resources for data transmission of a service group, selecting at least one MS to feed back a success/failure in receiving a map including the persistent resource allocation information, among Mobile Stations (MSs) to receive the persistent resource allocation information, and transmitting the map including the persistent resource allocation information and information indicating the selected MS.
