Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a downlink data transmission/reception technique for supporting a low-complexity UE category/type for a MTC operation. A method may be provided for an MTC UE to receive a random access response. The method may include: repeatedly transmitting a random access preamble to a base station through a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) of at least one subframe; determining a Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) using first time index information, frequency index information, and second time index information on the PRACH; and receiving a random access response to the random access preamble using the RA-RNTI within a random access response window.
