Abstract

The present specification provides a method for supporting an operation of a standalone MTC that uses a multi-narrowband in a wireless communication system. More specifically, a method performed by a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, multi-narrowband configuration information related to a plurality of narrowbands defined within an NR bandwidth including a first system bandwidth related to an in-band MTC operation and a second system bandwidth related to a standalone MTC operation; and performing frequency hopping on the plurality of narrowbands, on the basis of the multi-narrowband configuration information.
