Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods, devices, systems, and procedures for the handling of invalid system information in user equipment. In aspects, a user equipment (110) communicating with a base station (120) acquires first system information (502, 602, 702, 802, 902), stores the first system information (504, 604, 704, 804, 904), and determines if one or more blocks of stored first system information are invalid (506, 606, 706, 806, 906). If the user equipment determines that one or more blocks of stored first system information are invalid, then the user equipment determines at least one service requirement (508, 608, 708, 808, 908) of the user equipment. The user equipment manages the system information based on the service requirement of the user equipment.
Claims20
A method performed by a user equipment in communication with a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving a first system information message including first system information from the base station;
- storing the first system information;
- determining that one or more blocks of the stored first system information are invalid system information;
- responsive to determining that one or more blocks of the stored first system information are invalid system information, determining at least one service requirement of the user equipment;
- and
- managing the stored first system information based on the at least one service requirement of the user equipment.
A user equipment (UE) apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- one or more transceivers;
- and
- a computer-readable storage media (CRM) having stored thereon instructions that, responsive to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receive, using the one or more transceivers, a first system information message including first system information from a base station;
- store the first system information on the CRM;
- determine that one or more blocks of the stored first system information are invalid system information;
- responsive to determining that one or more blocks of the stored first system information are invalid system information, determine at least one service requirement of the UE apparatus;
- and
- manage the stored first system information based on the at least one service requirement of the UE apparatus.
