    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a technology for a sensor network, a machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and the Internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure can be utilized for the intelligent service (a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or a connected car, healthcare, digital education, a retail business, a security and safety-related service or the like) on the basis of the technology. Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and a method for minimizing an overhead of a mobile communication network in a machine type communication (MTC) system and minimizing power consumption in devices for MTC. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a base station device of a mobile communication network for M2M communication comprises: a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a signal to/from a leader device among a plurality of devices for M2M communication; and a control unit for transmitting, to the reader device, a downlink control signal through the transceiver in at least one predetermined interval within a scheduling interval and receiving, from the reader device, an uplink signal through the transceiver at a specific time point determined from the predetermined interval within the scheduling interval.
