Abstract

Methods for configuring and acquiring system information and apparatuses thereof. The method for configuring includes: generating scheduling information based on a correlation between a system information area identity and an area scope; and transmitting the scheduling information.

Claims (20)

1 . An apparatus for configuring system information, applicable to a network device, the apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

processor circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to:

for a cell-specific parameter, provide configuration on supplementary uplink for transmission of a system information message in scheduling information comprised in SIB1 when servingCellConfigCommon comprises supplementary uplink configuration; and

wherein when the supplementary uplink (supplementaryUplink) is present in the serving cell-common configuration (servingCellConfigCommon) and when a system information broadcast status for any system information message (SI-message) in the scheduling information (SchedulingInfo) is set to be not broadcasted, in the scheduling information, the processor circuitry is configured to provide the configuration on the supplementary uplink for transmission of the system information message.

2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,

the processor circuitry is further configured to, wherein the cell-specific parameter is information or an IE or a field, provide the configuration on the supplementary uplink for transmission of the system information message.

3 . A communication system, comprising:

a network device configured to, for a cell-specific parameter, provide configuration on supplementary uplink for transmission of a system information message in scheduling information comprised in SIB1 when servingCellConfigCommon comprises supplementary uplink configuration; and

a terminal device configured to receive the SIB 1 comprising configuration on the supplementary uplink for transmission of a system information message in scheduling information, the configuration being provided for a cell-specific parameter when servingCellConfigCommon comprises the supplementary uplink configuration;

wherein when the supplementary uplink (supplementaryUplink) is present in the serving cell-common configuration (servingCellConfigCommon) and when a system information broadcast status for any system information message (SI-message) in the scheduling information (SchedulingInfo) is set to be not broadcasted, in the scheduling information, the network device is configured to provide the configuration on the supplementary uplink for transmission of the system information message.

4 . An apparatus for configuring system information, applicable to a network device, the apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

processor circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to,

for a terminal equipment-specific parameter, provide configuration of the terminal equipment-specific parameter on supplementary uplink when configuration on the supplementary uplink is provided by the network device for a terminal equipment-;

wherein configuration on the supplementary uplink is provided by the network device for the terminal equipment comprises presence of a supplementary uplink (supplementaryUplink) in a common cell configuration (servingCellConfigCommon).

5 . The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein,

the terminal equipment-specific parameter comprises tpc-Index and/or tpc-IndexSUL.

6 . The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein,

the processor circuitry is further configured to, wherein the terminal equipment-specific parameter is information or an IE or a field, provide the configuration on the supplementary uplink for transmission of the system information message.
