METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK (SIB) ACQUISITION FOR WIRELESS TRANSMIT/RECEIVE UNITS (WTRUS) IN NON-CE AND COVERAGE ENHANCED (CE) MODES

摘要

A method and apparatus are described. A method includes determining whether the apparatus is in a coverage enhancement (CE) mode or a non-CE mode. The method further includes receiving a CE-system information block (CE-SIB) on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on at least one of a known location or at least one known parameter for the CE-SIB, on a condition that the WTRU is determined to be in the CE mode.
