Abstract
A method, network device and terminal device for providing remaining minimum system information (RMSI) in a wireless network. A method comprises determining whether a SS/PBCH block in the SS burst set configures the RMSI. In response to that the SS/PBCH block configures the RMSI, transmitting one or more repeated RMSI within a first periodicity.
Claims22
A method for transmitting remaining minimum system information (RMSI) in a wireless network, wherein a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) provides a subset of minimum system information for random access and configurations for fetching RMSI, wherein RMSI is a remaining subset of the minimum system information, and wherein a number of synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH blocks comprise a SS burst set which is transmitted periodically with a first periodicity, the method comprising:
- determining whether a SS/PBCH block in the SS burst set configures the RMSI;
- determining whether the first periodicity is greater than a predefined value;
- and
- in response to the SS/PBCH block configured the RMSI and the first periodicity is greater than the predefined value, transmitting one or more repeated RMSI within the first periodicity.
A method for receiving remaining minimum system information (RMSI) in a wireless network, wherein a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) provides a first subset of minimum system information for random access and configurations for fetching RMSI, wherein RMSI is a remaining subset of the minimum system information, and wherein a number of synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH blocks comprise a SS burst set which is transmitted periodically with a first periodicity, the method comprises:
- determining that the first periodicity is greater than a predefined value;
- determining whether a SS/PBCH block in the SS burst set configures the RMSI, based on a first subset of the minimum system information;
- and
- in response to the SS/PBCH block configured the RMSI and the first periodicity is greater than the predefined value, receiving one or more repeated RMSI within the first periodicity.
A network device for transmitting remaining minimum system information (RMSI) in a wireless network, wherein a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) provides a subset of minimum system information for random access and configurations for fetching RMSI, wherein RMSI is a remaining subset of the minimum system information, and wherein a number of synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH blocks comprise a SS burst set which is transmitted periodically with a first periodicity, the network device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, the memory containing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the network device to perform operations to:
- determine whether a SS/PBCH block in the SS burst set configures the RMSI;
- determine whether the first periodicity is greater than a predefined value;
- and
- in response to the SS/PBCH block configured the RMSI and the first periodicity is greater than the predefined value, transmit one or more repeated RMSI within the first periodicity.
A terminal device for receiving remaining minimum system information (RMSI) in a wireless network, wherein a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) provides a subset of minimum system information for random access and configurations for fetching RMSI, wherein RMSI is a remaining subset of the minimum system information in the RMSI, and wherein a number of synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH blocks comprise a SS burst set which is transmitted periodically with a first periodicity, the terminal device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, the memory containing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the terminal device to perform operations to:
- determine that the first periodicity is greater than a predefined value;
- determine whether a SS/PBCH block in the SS burst set configures the RMSI, based on a first subset of the minimum system information;
- and
- in response to the SS/PBCH block configured the RMSI and the first periodicity is greater than the predefined value, receive one or more repeated RMSI within the first periodicity.
