Provided is a method for receiving a downlink control channel in a machine type communication (MTC) device configured to operate only in a part of a band among system bands of a cell. A method for receiving a downlink control channel can comprise the steps of: determining a precoding matrix index (PMI) applied to a downlink control channel receivable only in a part of a band; receiving from a cell the downlink control channel in the part of the band in a data area of a subframe; and decoding the downlink control channel, which has been received from the cell, on the basis of the determined PMI.
