SHARING SYSTEM INFORMATION AMONG MULTIPLE CELLS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a set of system information to a user equipment (UE), and the UE may identify an operation mode indicating that the system information is applicable for a plurality cells. When the UE detects that it is in a new cell associated with a second base station, the UE may apply the received system information to establish a communication channel in the new cell associated with the second base station. As such, rather than receiving and decoding new system information upon detection of a new cell/base station, the UE may be able to efficiently apply the known system information to establish a connection in the new cell.
