Abstract
A method of informing a user equipment about access barring includes the steps of: determining a bit set for the access barring, wherein the bit set includes at least two bits and discloses at least whether the access barring is on or off; placing at least a first bit of the bit set in a starting message, the starting message being one the following messages: a master information block message or a paging message; and transmitting the bit set in a message set via radio interface to the user equipment, the message set including at least the starting message. The starting message may disclose whether the remaining access barring information need to be read.
Claims17
A method of informing a user equipment about access barring, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a bit set for the access barring, wherein the bit set includes at least two bits and discloses at least whether the access barring is on or off;
- placing at least a first bit of the bit set in a starting message, the starting message being a paging message;
- and
- transmitting the bit set in a message set via a radio interface to the user equipment, the message set including at least the starting message, the method further comprising;
- transmitting a system information block via the radio interface to the user equipment, the system information block comprising a scheduling information list that lists a further system information block that contains access barring information.
An apparatus for informing a user equipment about access barring, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- determine a bit set for the access barring, wherein the bit set includes at least two bits and discloses at least whether the access barring is on or off;
- place at least a first bit of the bit set in a starting message, the starting message being a paging message;
- transmit the bit set in a message set via a radio interface to the user equipment, the message set including at least the starting message;
- and
- transmit a system information block via the radio interface to the user equipment, the system information block comprising a scheduling information list that lists a further system information block that contains access barring information.
An apparatus for determining information about access barring, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- receive a message set transmitted via a radio interface to a user equipment, the message set including at least a starting message that is a paging message;
- obtain at least a first bit of a bit set from the starting message, wherein the bit set includes at least two bits and is intended for access barring;
- determine information of the bit set;
- the information at least disclosing whether the access barring is on or off;
- and
- receive a system information block transmitted via the radio interface to the user equipment, the system information block comprising a scheduling information list that lists a further system information block that contains access barring information.
