Abstract
A method and user equipment (UE) are described. The UE performs a handover from a first cell to a second cell. The UE performs a procedure for acquiring system information of the second cell from a cell determined between the first cell and the second cell based on whether the UE has a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) cancellation capability. The procedure is determined according to a cell range extension (CRE)-related capability of the UE.
Claims16
A method for acquiring system information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- performing a handover from a first cell to a second cell;
- and
- performing a procedure for acquiring system information of the second cell from a cell determined based on whether the UE has a Cell Range Extension (CRE)-related capability including a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) cancellation capability between the first cell and the second cell,
- wherein if the UE has the PBCH cancellation capability, the UE acquires the system information of the second cell through a PBCH of the second cell while cancelling a PBCH interference of the first cell.
A user equipment (UE) for use in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a reception (Rx) module;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- perform a handover from a first cell to a second cell, and
- perform a procedure for acquiring, via the Rx module, system information of the second cell from a cell determined based on whether the UE has a Cell Range Extension (CRE)-related capability including a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) cancellation capability between the first cell and the second cell,
- wherein if the UE has the PBCH cancellation capability, the UE acquires the system information of the second cell through a PBCH of the second cell while cancelling a PBCH interference of the first cell.
