Patent ID: 10979929

Abstract:
The disclosed techniques provide a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving system information, base station, and terminal. The method of transmitting system information comprises: configuring, by a base station, a radio frame for transmitting system information in a system information window with a system information repetition pattern; and, starting, by the base station, to transmit the system information in an available radio subframe of the radio frame indicated by the system information repetition pattern, wherein if there are not enough available radio subframes for transmitting the SI one or more times in the radio frame indicated by the system information repetition pattern, the system information is repeatedly transmitted one or more times in an available radio subframe in a specified radio frame. With this technical solution, the problem in related techniques that the system information cannot be transmitted using the prior art as the number of radio subframes that system information needs to occupy increases is solved, such that regardless of a size of the system information, a suitable number of radio subframes can be selected and thereby network resources are reasonably used.
