1-30. (canceled)
A first communications apparatus which communicates with second communications apparatus, the first communications apparatus comprising;
- a transceiver configured to receive a Master Information Block (MIB) which includes first information;
- and
- at least one processor configured to determine, based on the first information, a Transport Block Size (TBS) for System Information Block 1 (SIB1) and a number of repetitions of the SIB1,
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive the SIB1 based on the first information.
A method performed by a first communications apparatus which communicates with second communications apparatus, the method comprising;
- receiving a Master Information Block (MIB) which includes first information;
- determining, based on the first information, a Transport Block Size (TBS) for System Information Block 1 (SIB1) and a number of repetitions of the SIB1;
- and
- receiving the SIB1 based on the first information.
A second communications apparatus which communicates with first communications apparatus, the second communications apparatus comprising;
- a transceiver configured to:
- transmit a Master Information Block (MIB) which includes first information representing a Transport Block Size (TBS) for System Information Block 1 (SIB1) and a number of repetitions of the SIB1;
- and
- transmit the SIB1 based on the TBS and number of repetitions.
