Abstract

A method for determining an uplink (UL) channel quality by a base station (BS) includes obtaining a coverage class (CC) value of a user equipment (UE), receiving a random access (RA) signal from the UE, determining an UL channel quality of a band in which the RA signal is transmitted, based on the CC value and the RA signal, and generating UL resource allocation information based on the UL channel quality and transmitting the UL resource allocation information to the UE. The BS includes a transceiver configured to obtain a CC value of a UE and to receive a RA signal from the UE, and a controller configured to determine an UL channel quality of a band in which the RA signal is transmitted, based on the CC value and the RA signal. A UE includes determines a CC value of the UE based on a DL signal.
