Abstract
The user equipment (UE) configured to receive a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in a first bandwidth portion of a cell having a cell bandwidth, the PBCH having a master information block (MIB), the MIB having a carrier flag and an indication of a second bandwidth portion of the cell. The UE is further configured to receive the second bandwidth portion of the cell based on a first value on the carrier flag and recover control information from the second bandwidth portion.
Claims18
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver;
- wherein:
- the transceiver and the processor are configured to receive a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in a first bandwidth portion of a cell having a cell bandwidth, the PBCH having a master information block (MIB), the MIB having a carrier flag and an indication of a second bandwidth portion of the cell and time resources to receive the second bandwidth portion;
- the transceiver and the processor are further configured to receive, in the indicated time resources, a signal in the second bandwidth portion of the cell based on a first value on the carrier flag and recover control information from the signal in the second bandwidth portion;
- the transceiver and the processor are further configured to receive a system information block (SIB) based on the received signal in the second bandwidth portion;
- the transceiver and the processor are further configured to receive a message indicating time intervals to receive first control information in the second bandwidth portion;
- and
- the transceiver and the processor are further configured to receive the first control information in the indicated time intervals of the second bandwidth portion, wherein the indicated time intervals are less than all of the time intervals.

A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in a first bandwidth portion of a cell having a cell bandwidth, the PBCH having a master information block (MIB), the MIB having a carrier flag and an indication of a second bandwidth portion of the cell and time resources to receive the second bandwidth portion;
- processing, in the indicated time resources, a signal in the second bandwidth portion of the cell based on a first value on the carrier flag;
- recovering control information from the signal in the second bandwidth portion;
- receiving a system information block (SIB) based on the received signal in the second bandwidth portion;
- receiving a message indicating time intervals to receive first control information in the second bandwidth portion;
- and
- receiving the first control information in the indicated time intervals of the second bandwidth portion, wherein the indicated time intervals are less than all of the time intervals.
