Abstract
A method for transmitting a Medium Access Control (MAC) control message for an M2M device and an apparatus for supporting the same are disclosed herein. According to an exemplary embodiment, a method for transmitting a MAC control message includes the steps of receiving a broadcast assignment map information element (BA A-MAP IE) including a function index field and broadcast assignment information for the M2M device, and wherein the broadcast assignment information indicates a resource region to which the MAC control message is being transmitted, and, when a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit masked to the BA A-MAP IE indicates that the BA A-MAP IE is for a M2M broadcast assignment, receiving the MAC control message through the resource region, which is indicated by the broadcast assignment information.
