The present invention relates to a wireless access system supporting a machine-type communication (MTC), and particularly, provided are a method for repeatedly transmitting a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for an MTC, and apparatus for supporting same. The method for repeatedly transmitting a PBCH for an MTC terminal in a wireless access system supporting MTC according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise the steps of: transmitting a first PBCH by means of a legacy PBCH transmission region of a first subframe; repeatedly transmitting a second PBCH from the first subframe; and repeatedly transmitting a third PBCH from a second subframe. Here, the present invention can be structured so that the second PBCH and third PBCH are not repeatedly transmitted in the control regions of the first subframe and second subframe.

A method and an apparatus are provided for performing wireless communication between terminals. An inquiry message is transmitted to a neighboring terminal. An inquiry response message is received from the neighboring terminal. It is determined whether the apparatus overlaps the neighboring terminal. When the apparatus overlaps the neighboring terminal, paging is automatically performed, without intervention of a user of the apparatus, and pairing between the apparatus and the neighboring terminal is established.

A portable access point includes a first transceiver, a second transceiver, and a routing module. The first transceiver is configured to access an Internet via a mobile phone.
