MASTER INFORMATION BLOCK, MIB, MAPPING IN LTE SYMSTEMS USING A NEW CARRIER TYPE PHYSICAL BROADCAST CHANNEL

摘要

A communication station (110) includes a modulation circuit (111), a mapping circuit (113) and a transmitting circuit (115). The modulation circuit (111) is configured to modulate one or more master information blocks (MIBs). The mapping circuit (113) is configured to map the modulated MIBs to the new carrier type physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The BPCH is configured in a plurality of radio frames. The transmitting circuit (115) is configured to operably transmit the radio frames. Moreover, the mapping circuit (113) maps the modulated MIBs to central radio blocks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of predetermined subframes of radio frames. The OFDM symbols are configured to be adjacent to synchronization signals.
