US 12,587,959 B2 · System information transmission in a carrier aggregation system

Abstract

A base station can include a transceiver and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The transceiver can enable wireless communication with a user equipment (UE) by a first component carrier (CC) in a first cell managed by the base station in a carrier aggregation (CA) wireless communication system. The processor can generate a system scheduling message to be transmitted on the first CC to the UE in the first cell, where the system scheduling message comprises a schedule of monitoring occasions for system information of a second CC by the UE in a second cell. Afterwards, the processor can transmit the system scheduling message on the first CC to the UE.

Dependent claims

A method of wireless communications performed by a base station, comprising:

generating a system scheduling message to be transmitted on a first component carrier (CC) to a user equipment (UE) in a first cell managed by the base station, wherein the system scheduling message comprises a first system message of the first CC including a schedule of monitoring occasions of the first CC in the first cell, and a second system message of the first CC containing a schedule of monitoring occasions for system information of a second CC to be used by the UE in a second cell;
and
transmitting the system scheduling message on the first CC to the UE.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
