This invention relates to a system, terminals, and a method of communicating broadcast information where broadcast information comprising at least two parts is transmitted to at least one communications terminal. The transmission comprises transmitting the broadcast information during at least a first time instance, and where the transmission further comprises transmitting incremental broadcast information during a time instance being different than the first time instance. In this way, by sending the broadcast information in increments, i.e. incrementally, it is ensured that terminals capable of it (due to better capabilities like higher information rate, greater bandwidth, etc. and/or due to better location like near the base station, having favorable propagation conditions, having line-of-sight to the base station, etc.) will receive the broadcast information more quickly and thereby faster can resume a "sleep" state (unless they are required to act in an active way upon the received broadcast information) without being limited by less complex or capable terminal or terminals under worst case conditions, as would otherwise be the case if the sending of broadcast information was designed to accommodate the worst or worse case situations. This saves power for the more capable and/or favorable placed terminals since the transceiver will be active for a shorter amount of time to receive the same amount of broadcast information.
