Abstract
A terminal device in a wireless telecommunication system which transmits a master information block and a first and a second system information block the first and second system information block comprising first and second scheduling information relating to the timing of at least one additional block of system information. The terminal device configured to receive the master information block of system information that comprises a marker instructing the terminal device to ignore the first scheduling information and process only the second scheduling information.
Claims19
A terminal device comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive a master information block (MIB), from a wireless telecommunication system, wherein
- the wireless telecommunication system is configured to transmit the MIB, a first system information block (SIB), and a second (SIB),
- the first SIB includes first scheduling information, the second SIB includes second scheduling information, and the first scheduling information and the second scheduling information relate to a timing of at least one additional block of system information, and
- the MIB includes an information element indicating that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system;
- decode the MIB;
- determine whether the information element included in the MIB indicates that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system;
- and
- ignore the first SIB and process the second SIB when it is determined that the information element indicates that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system, wherein the second scheduling information included in the second SIB indicates a time domain window for receiving at least one additional block of system information.

Circuitry for a terminal device, the circuitry configured to:
- receive a master information block (MIB), from a wireless telecommunication system, wherein
- the wireless telecommunication system is configured to transmit the MIB, a first system information block (SIB), and a second (SIB),
- the first SIB includes first scheduling information, the second SIB includes second scheduling information, and the first scheduling information and the second scheduling information relate to a timing of at least one additional block of system information, and
- the MIB includes an information element indicating that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system;
- decode the MIB;
- determine whether the information element included in the MIB indicates that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system;
- and
- ignore the first SIB and process the second SIB when it is determined that the information element indicates that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system, wherein the second scheduling information included in the second SIB indicates a time domain window for receiving at least one additional block of system information.

A method of operating a terminal device in a wireless telecommunication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the terminal device, a master information block (MIB) from a wireless telecommunication system,
- wherein the wireless telecommunication system is configured to transmit the MIB, a first system information block (SIB), and a second SIB,
- the first SIB includes first scheduling information, the second SIB includes second scheduling information, and the first scheduling information and the second scheduling information relate to a timing of at least one additional block of system information,
- and the MIB includes an information element indicating that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system;
- decoding the MIB;
- decode the MIB;
- determining whether the information element included in the MIB indicates that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system;
- ignoring the first SIB and processing the second SIB when it is determined that the information element indicates that the second SIB is being transmitted from the wireless telecommunication system, wherein the second scheduling information included in the second SIB indicates a time domain window for receiving at least one additional block of system information.
