US 11,115,903 B2 · System information delivery

Abstract

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to delivering a limited amount of system information. For example, the delivery of system information may be divided into broadcasting a limited amount of the system information and using unicast signaling for delivery of the remaining system information. In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting a compressed PLMN ID list (e.g., broadcasting indications of PLMNs). In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting an indication of the version of system information that is valid for a cell. In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting multiple configurations of system information along with indications of each configuration. In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting compressed non-cell-related system information.

Dependent claims

A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:

maintaining a mapping between indications and configurations of a first subset of a set of system information;
receiving at least one indication;
determining, based on the mapping and the received at least one indication, at least one valid configuration of the first subset of system information;
receiving a second subset of the set of system information
maintaining a mapping between indications and public land mobile networks (PLMNs);
receiving at least one other indication;
determining, based on the mapping and the received at least one other indication, at least one public land mobile network (PLMN) with which communication can be established;
and
establishing communication with another apparatus associated with the determined at least one PLMN,
wherein the second subset of system information is received from the other apparatus after establishing the communication.
