Abstract

A method for receiving system information via a broadcast control channel (BCCH) to which a broadcast channel (BCH) and a downlink shared channel (DL_SCH) are mapped, the method including receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a block of first system information from a base station via the BCH, and receiving, by the UE, a first block of second system information from the base station via the DL_SCH. The first block of second system information is scheduled with a fixed time offset. The method further includes receiving, by the UE, a plurality of second blocks of second system information from the base station via the DL_SCH.

Claims (38)

1. A method for receiving system information via a broadcast control channel (BCCH), the method comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a block of first system information from a base station via a broadcast channel (BCH) to which the BCCH is mapped;

receiving, by the UE, a first block of second system information from the base station via a downlink shared channel (DL_SCH) to which the BCCH is mapped, wherein the first block of second system information is scheduled with a fixed time offset from the received block of first system information; and

receiving, by the UE, a plurality of second blocks of second system information from the base station via the DL_SCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first block of second system information includes scheduling information for the plurality of second blocks of second system information, and

wherein the scheduling information includes at least one of periodicity information and mapping information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DL_SCH supports a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) scheme.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the block of first system information includes at least one of bandwidth information and parameter information about a physical layer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first block of second system information and each of the plurality of second blocks of second system information are received via the DL_SCH in accordance with frequency and time information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second blocks of second system information further includes at least one of:

paging information,

a cell select related information,

a positioning related information, and

a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) related information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first block of second system information further includes value tag information and cell access related information, and

wherein the cell access related information includes at least one of Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identity information, tracking area information, and cell barred information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of second blocks of second system information further includes value tag information.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second blocks of second system information received from the base station via the DL_SCH is configured to carry user traffic.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the BCH is a static channel.

11. A method for transmitting system information via a broadcast control channel (BCCH), the method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station, a block of first system information to a user equipment (UE) via a broadcast channel (BCH) to the BCCH is mapped;

transmitting, by the base station, a first block of second system information to the UE via a downlink shared channel (DL_SCH) to which the BCCH is mapped, wherein the first block of second system information is scheduled with a fixed time offset from the received block of first system information; and

transmitting, by the base station, a plurality of second blocks of second system information to the UE via the DL_SCH.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first block of second system information includes scheduling information for the plurality of second blocks of second system information, and

wherein the scheduling information includes at least one of periodicity information and mapping information.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the DL_SCH supports a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) scheme.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the block of first system information includes at least one of bandwidth information and parameter information about a physical layer.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first block of second system information and each of the plurality of second blocks of second system information are received via the DL_SCH in accordance with frequency and time information.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of second blocks of second system information further includes at least one of:

paging information,

a cell select related information,

a positioning related information, and

a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) related information.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first block of second system information further includes value tag information and cell access related information, and

wherein the cell access related information includes at least one of Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identity information, tracking area information, and cell barred information.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein one of the plurality of second blocks of second system information further includes value tag information.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of second blocks of second system information transmitted from the base station via the DL_SCH is configured to carry user traffic.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the BCH is a static channel.
