Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a scalable SIB bitmap structure. As described herein, a UE may generate and transmit, to an access network, a dual-layer system information block (SIB) request, wherein a first layer indicates a SIB category and a second layer indicates one or more groups within the SIB category. A base station in an access network may receive, from a UE, the dual-layer SIB request. The scalable, efficient bitmap structure may be shared by the UE and access network, thereby enabling SIB-on-Demand requests by the UE and responses to SIB-on-Demand requests by the access network.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- generating a dual-layer system information block (SIB) request, wherein a first layer indicates a SIB category and a second layer indicates one or more groups within the SIB category;
- and
- transmitting the dual-layer SIB request to an access network.
A method for wireless communication by a base station, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a dual-layer system information block (SIB) request, wherein a first layer indicates a SIB category and a second layer indicates one or more groups within the SIB category;
- and
- in response to the request, transmitting, to the UE, one or more requested SIBs.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for generating a dual-layer system information block (SIB) request, wherein a first layer indicates a SIB category and a second layer indicates one or more groups within the SIB category;
- and
- means for transmitting the dual-layer SIB request to an access network.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a base station, comprising:
- means for receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a dual-layer system information block (SIB) request, wherein a first layer indicates a SIB category and a second layer indicates one or more groups within the SIB category;
- and
- in response to the request, means for transmitting, to the UE, one or more requested SIBs.
