Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting a plurality of system information bit streams, wherein each system information bit stream carries corresponding system information of one or more base stations in a wireless communication system, comprising: identifying a plurality of network-entry-related bit streams and a plurality of non-network-entry-related bit streams from the system information bit streams, wherein the network-entry-related bit streams carry essential system information for a terminal to access a network through at least one of the base stations, and wherein the network-entry-related bit streams are categorized into one group and the non-network-entry-related bit streams are categorized into the other group; modulating the network-entry-related bit streams according to a first set of modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and modulating the non-network-entry-related bit streams according to a second set of MCSs, wherein each of the first set of MCSs and the second set of MCSs comprise one or more MCSs, respectively; and transmitting the system information bit streams with different frequencies, wherein the network-entry-related bit streams and the non-network-entry-related bit streams are transmitted as being broadcasted, the network-entry-related bit streams are periodically transmitted according to a first predetermined period, the non-network-entry-related bit streams are transmitted according to a second predetermined period, and the second predetermined period is longer than the first predetermined period.
