SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SELECTING RACH OCCASIONS FOR SYSTEM INFORMATION REQUEST - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18346603 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SELECTING RACH OCCASIONS FOR SYSTEM INFORMATION REQUEST
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system to request system information from a base station. The method involves the following steps:
- The UE receives configuration information from the base station through higher layer signaling. This configuration information includes details about the period for requesting system information, which is divided into multiple association periods.
- The UE identifies the specific resources required for requesting the system information based on the received configuration information. These resources include an index of the association period within the request period, information about a random access preamble, and information about a Random Access Channel (RACH) occasion.
- Finally, the UE transmits the system information request to the base station using the identified resources.
In summary, the method provides a way for a UE to efficiently request system information from a base station in a wireless communication system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of a UE is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a system information (SI) request by higher layer signaling, the configuration information including information on a SI request period comprising of a number of association period; identifying information on a SI request resource corresponding to a SI message based on the configuration information, the information on the SI request resource including an index of an association period in the SI request period, information on a random access preamble, and information on a RACH occasion; and transmitting, to the base station, the SI request for the SI message based on the information on the SI request resource.
