Abstract

Claims (28)

1. A wireless communication method for use in a wireless network node, the wireless communication method comprising:

transmitting a specific information associated with system information (SI) related to a first wireless terminal type in a cell,

wherein the specific information comprises a first indicator indicating whether the cell supports the first wireless terminal type by indicating whether a configuration dedicated for the first wireless terminal type is configured in the cell,

wherein a capability of downlink (DL) bandwidth of the first wireless terminal type is smaller than a capability of DL bandwidth of a second wireless terminal type,

wherein the SI related to the first wireless terminal type comprises a first instance different from a second instance of SI related to the second wireless terminal type, and

wherein the first wireless terminal type refers to reduced capability terminals and the second wireless terminal type refers to non-reduced capability terminals.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the SI comprises SI block 1 (SIB1).

3. A wireless communication method for use in a wireless terminal, the wireless communication method comprising:

receiving a specific information associated with system information (SI) related to a first wireless terminal type in a cell,

wherein the specific information comprises a first indicator indicating whether the cell supports the first wireless terminal type by indicating whether a configuration dedicated for the first wireless terminal type is configured in the cell,

wherein a capability of downlink (DL) bandwidth of the first wireless terminal type is smaller than a capability of DL bandwidth of a second wireless terminal type,

wherein the SI related to the first wireless terminal type comprises a first instance different from a second instance of SI related to the second wireless terminal type, and

wherein the first wireless terminal type refers to reduced capability terminals and the second wireless terminal type refers to non-reduced capability terminals.

4. The wireless communication method of claim 3 , wherein the SI comprises SI block 1 (SIB1).

5. A wireless network node, comprising:

a communication unit, configured to transmit a specific information associated with system information (SI) related to a first wireless terminal type in a cell,

wherein the specific information comprises a first indicator indicating whether the cell supports the first wireless terminal type by indicating whether a configuration dedicated for the first wireless terminal type is configured in the cell,

wherein a capability of downlink (DL) bandwidth of the first wireless terminal type is smaller than a capability of DL bandwidth of a second wireless terminal type,

wherein the SI related to the first wireless terminal type comprises a first instance different from a second instance of SI related to the second wireless terminal type, and

wherein the first wireless terminal type refers to reduced capability terminals and the second wireless terminal type refers to non-reduced capability terminals.

6. The wireless network node of claim 5 , wherein the SI comprises SI block 1 (SIB1).

7. A wireless terminal, comprising:

a communication unit, configured to receive a specific information associated with system information (SI) related to a first wireless terminal type in a cell,

wherein the specific information comprises a first indicator indicating whether the cell supports the first wireless terminal type by indicating whether a configuration dedicated for the first wireless terminal type is configured in the cell,

wherein a capability of downlink (DL) bandwidth of the first wireless terminal type is smaller than a capability of DL bandwidth of a second wireless terminal type,

wherein the SI related to the first wireless terminal type comprises a first instance different from a second instance of SI related to the second wireless terminal type, and

wherein the first wireless terminal type refers to reduced capability terminals and the second wireless terminal type refers to non-reduced capability terminals.

8. The wireless terminal of claim 7 , wherein the SI comprises SI block 1 (SIB1).
