APPARATUSES FOR COMMUNICATING WITH NEW CARRIER TYPE PHYSICAL BROADCAST CHANNEL

摘要

A communication station includes a modulation circuit, a mapping circuit and a transmitting circuit. The modulation circuit is configured to operably modulate the master information block (MIB). The mapping circuit is configured to operably map the modulated MIBs to the new carrier type physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The PBCH is configured in a plurality of radio frames. The transmitting circuit is configured to operably transmit the radio frames. Moreover, the mapping circuit maps the modulated MIBs to only part of six central radio blocks of the predetermined subframes of the radio frames. The six central radio blocks are configured to locate around the DC subcarrier.

1. A communication station, comprising:
a modulation circuit, configured to operably modulate one or more master information blocks (MIBs); a mapping circuit, configured to operably map the modulated MIBs to a new carrier type physical broadcast channel (PBCH) wherein the PBCH is configured in a plurality of radio frames; and a transmitting circuit, configured to operably transmit the radio frames; wherein each of the radio frames comprises a plurality of subframes; each of the subframes comprises a plurality of slots; each of the slots comprises a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols; each of the OFDM symbols comprises a plurality of subcarriers; each of the slots comprises a plurality of radio blocks (RBs); each of the RBs comprises a predetermined number of OFDM symbols located on a predetermined number of subcarriers; the mapping circuit maps the modulated MIBs to a plurality of central RBs of a first predetermined subframes of the radio frames; the central RBs are configured to be around a DC subcarrier of the subcarriers; and the mapping circuit maps the modulated MIBs to only part of the central RBs.
