METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK (SIB) ACQUISITION FOR WIRELESS TRANSMIT/RECEIVE UNITS (WTRUS) IN NON-CE AND COVERAGE ENHANCED (CE) MODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231671 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK (SIB) ACQUISITION FOR WIRELESS TRANSMIT/RECEIVE UNITS (WTRUS) IN NON-CE AND COVERAGE ENHANCED (CE) MODES
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method and apparatus for determining whether a device is in a coverage enhancement (CE) mode or a non-CE mode. - If the device is determined to be in the CE mode, it receives a CE-system information block (CE-SIB) on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). - The CE-SIB is received based on either a known location or at least one known parameter for the CE-SIB. - The purpose of this method is to enhance coverage for the device in certain modes of operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and apparatus are described. A method includes determining whether the apparatus is in a coverage enhancement (CE) mode or a non-CE mode. The method further includes receiving a CE-system information block (CE-SIB) on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on at least one of a known location or at least one known parameter for the CE-SIB, on a condition that the WTRU is determined to be in the CE mode.
