System information delivery

Abstract:

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to delivering a limited amount of system information. For example, the delivery of system information may be divided into broadcasting a limited amount of the system information and using unicast signaling for delivery of the remaining system information. In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting a compressed PLMN ID list (e.g., broadcasting indications of PLMNs). In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting an indication of the version of system information that is valid for a cell. In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting multiple configurations of system information along with indications of each configuration. In some aspects, the delivery of a limited amount of system information may involve broadcasting compressed non-cell-related system information.
