METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATION OF SYSTEM INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for communicating system information in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises generating and sending by a base station, for example an eNB, a system information block (SIB) which includes at least one correlation enhancement bit. This SIB is received by the terminal, for example a MTC UE, and this SIB is subsequently correlated with a previously received SIB. Further, upon the correlation of the SIB and the previously received SIB, a determination is made whether the SIB has in fact changed. Upon determining if the SIB has changed, the terminal selects the correct SIB which is to be used for configuring communication with the base station.

1. A method for communicating system information from a base station to a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network, the method comprising:
generating and sending by the base station, a system information block (SIB) including at least one correlation enhancement bit; receiving, by the UE, the SIB; correlating, by the UE, the SIB with a previously received SIB; determining, by the UE, if the SIB has changed based on the correlation; and selecting, by the UE, a correct SIB for configuring communication with the base station based on the determination.
