Base stations and user equipments configured to handle on-demand system information in 5G NR
The present disclosure provides a user equipment for a mobile telecommunications system, which includes circuitry configured to communicate with a new radio base station. The circuitry is further configured to transmit an on-demand system information request to the new radio base station, wherein the on-demand system information request is transmitted based on a backup resource.
1. A user equipment for a mobile telecommunications system comprising circuitry configured to communicate with a new radio base station, wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
transmit an on-demand system information request to the new radio base station, wherein the on-demand system information request is transmitted on a backup resource.
2. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the on-demand system information request is transmitted in a Msg1 message.
3. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the backup resource is reserved.
4. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the backup resource is indicated in an essential system information transmission.
5. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the on-demand system information request is transmitted over the backup resource, when it is detected that a number of transmissions exceeds a predefined threshold.
6. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit the on-demand system information request based on an indicator received.
7. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the backup resource is only activated for predefined system information blocks.
8. A new radio base station for a mobile telecommunications system comprising circuitry configured to communicate with at least one user equipment and to establish a new radio cell, wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
transmit on-demand system information to the at least one user equipment in response to receiving an on-demand system information request from the at least one user equipment on a backup resource.
9. The new radio base station of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to reserve the backup resource in advance.
10. The new radio base station of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit an indication of the backup resource in an essential system information.
11. The new radio base station of claim 10 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to detect a collision and to transmit the indication in response to detection of the collision.
12. The new radio base station of claim 11 , wherein the collision is detected based on a decoding error for received signals on a reserved resource.
13. The new radio base station of claim 12 , wherein the reserved resource is at least one of the backup resource and a pre-reserved resource.
14. The new radio base station of claim 8 , wherein the backup resource is only activated for predefined system information blocks.
