COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES FOR DELIVERING INFORMATION TO USERS EXPERIENCING HIGH ATTENUATION

摘要

A wireless telecommunication network base station method, corresponding wireless telecommunication network user equipment method, computer program products and network nodes operable to perform those methods. The base station method comprises: encoding resource allocation information relating to a location of a system information block in a master information block. The user equipment method comprises: decoding resource allocation information relating to a location of a system information block in a master information block. Aspects and embodiments described may provide an efficient method which can be used to indicate an appropriate resource allocation for the SIB for MTC UE requiring coverage extension.
