Transmission of System Information on a Downlink Shared Channel

摘要

In one embodiment, a method of transmitting system information on a downlink shared channel structured as successive subframes includes transmitting (400-416) system information in regularly occurring time windows, each time window spanning some number of successive subframes. The method further includes indicating (406/408) to receiving user equipment (120) which subframes within a given time window carry system information. The method and variations of it are applied, for example, to the transmission of dynamic system information on the downlink shared channel or other downlink channel in a 3GPP E-UTRA wireless communication network (100).

1. A method of transmitting system information on the downlink of a wireless communication network comprising:
transmitting system information in recurring time windows overlaid on a sequence of transmit channel subframes; dynamically selecting which subframes within a given time window are to be used for carrying the system information; and including an indicator in each of the selected subframes to indicate to receiving user equipment that the subframe carries system information.
