Abstract

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.

Claims (36)

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 resource, wherein

the resource includes a random access preamble.

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 resource includes a random access time resource.

4. The user equipment of claim 3 , wherein

the resource is reserved.

5. The user equipment of claim 4 , wherein

the resource is indicated in an essential system information transmission.

6. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein

the on-demand system information request is transmitted over the resource, when it is detected that a number of transmissions exceeds a predefined threshold.

7. 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.

8. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein

the resource is only activated for predefined system information blocks.

9. 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 resource, wherein

the resource includes a random access preamble.

10. The new radio base station of claim 9 , wherein

the on-demand system information request is transmitted in a Msg1 message.

11. The new radio base station of claim 10 , wherein

the resource includes a random access time resource.

12. The new radio base station of claim 11 , wherein

the circuitry is further configured to reserve the resource in advance.

13. The new radio base station of claim 12 , wherein

the circuitry is further configured to transmit an indication of the resource in an essential system information.

14. The new radio base station of claim 13 , wherein

the circuitry is further configured to detect a collision and to transmit the indication in response to detection of the collision.

15. The new radio base station of claim 14 , wherein

the collision is detected based on a decoding error for received signals on a reserved resource.

16. The new radio base station of claim 15 , wherein

the reserved resource is at least one of the resource and a pre-reserved resource.

17. The new radio base station of claim 9 , wherein

the resource is only activated for predefined system information blocks.
