Abstract
Control techniques of broadcast information reception operations at user equipment having coverage enhancement functionalities are disclosed. One aspect of the present invention relates to user equipment, comprising: a transmission and reception unit configured to transmit and receive radio signals to/from a base station; and a broadcast information combination unit configured to receive system information blocks from a cell across multiple windows.
Claims2
A user equipment, comprising:
- a transceiver that transmits and receives radio signals to or from a base station,
- wherein the transceiver receives system information blocks (SIB s) for limited bandwidth from a cell across multiple windows,
- wherein the transceiver receives a master information block (MIB),
- wherein the transceiver receives a first SIB transmitted from the cell in a number of cycles, and the first SIB comprises an information element that indicates a maximum number of windows for a second SIB,
- wherein the transceiver receives the second SIB that is repeatedly transmitted across the indicated maximum number of windows,
- wherein a number of repeated transmissions of the second SIB is indicated in the first SIB, and
- wherein the first SIB is a SIB 1.
4 more elements
A base station, comprising:
- a processor that manages a cell to communicate with a user equipment in limited bandwidth;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits broadcast information on the cell,
- wherein the transmitter transmits a master information block (MIB),
- wherein the transmitter transmits a first system information block (SIB) that includes an information element that indicates a maximum number of windows on the cell for reception of a second SIB that is repeatedly transmitted by the transmitter,
- wherein a number of repeated transmissions of the second SIB is indicated in the first SIB,
- wherein the user equipment receives the second SIB across the indicated maximum number of windows, and
- wherein the first SIB is SIB 1.
