Base station, user equipment, and related method
View Patent ↗A method performed by a user equipment and a user equipment are provided. The method includes receiving a change indication for a system information block (SIB) from system information which is broadcast periodically; if the change indication is different from a stored value of the SIB, considering the SIB as invalid; if the SIB is stored and invalid and is indicated as not broadcast, acquiring the SIB by sending a system information acquisition request; and if the SIB is stored and invalid and is broadcast, acquiring the SIB from a corresponding system information window (SI-window).
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) comprising:
receiving a change indication for at least one of a periodically broadcast system information block (SIB) and a non-periodically broadcast SIB from system information which is broadcast periodically;
if the change indication is for the periodically broadcast SIB and is different from a stored value of the periodically broadcast SIB, considering a stored content of the periodically broadcast SIB as invalid;
if the change indication is for the non-periodically broadcast SIB and is different from a stored value of the non-periodically broadcast SIB, considering a stored content of the non-periodically broadcast SIB as invalid;
if the stored content of the non-periodically broadcast SIB is invalid, acquiring the non-periodically broadcast SIB by sending a system information acquisition request; and
if the stored content of the periodically broadcast SIB is invalid, acquiring the periodically broadcast SIB from a corresponding system information window (SI-window).
2. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
receiving circuitry configured to receive a change indication for at least one of a periodically broadcast system information block (SIB) and a non-periodically broadcast SIB from system information which is broadcast periodically; and
processing circuitry configured to:
consider a stored content of the periodically broadcast SIB as invalid if the change indication is for the periodically broadcast SIB and is different from a stored value of the periodically broadcast SIB,
consider a stored content of the non-periodically broadcast SIB as invalid if the change indication is for the non-periodically broadcast SIB and is different from a stored value of the non-periodically broadcast SIB,
acquire the non-periodically broadcast SIB by sending a system information acquisition request if the stored content of the non-periodically broadcast SIB is invalid, and
acquire the periodically broadcast SIB from a corresponding system information window (SI-window) if the stored content of the periodically broadcast SIB is invalid.
