Abstract
In a mobile telecommunications system comprising a network of a plurality of cells and at least one user equipment device, the user equipment is arranged, when the user equipment re-configures itself to enter a new state or performs cell reselection, to read broadcast system information and, when the broadcast system information indicates a change in system information, to update the system information of the user equipment device.
Claims13
A method for enabling configuration changes in a user equipment device, the method comprising a telecommunications network:
- broadcasting a system information change notification a first time to notify a device of the intent to change system information;
- and
- broadcasting at least one repeat of the system information change notification in a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) that occurs before the system change is implemented.
A telecommunications network element for enabling configuration changes in a user equipment device, the telecommunications network element being arranged to:
- broadcast a system information change notification a first time to notify a device of the intent to change system information;
- and
- broadcast at least one repeat of the system information change notification in a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) that occurs before the system change is to be implemented.
