Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method performed by a User Equipment (UE). The method comprises: monitoring a physical channel that is transmitted repetitively at a repetition level; and receiving configuration information for reconfiguring the repetition level. The initial repetition level is determined during a random access procedure. The present disclosure also provides a method performed by a base station, as well as a base station and a UE. With the present disclosure, it is possible to improve resource utilization and spectrum/energy efficiency of MTC UEs supported by the LTE and reduce inter-cell time/frequency resource collisions.
