Patent ID: 10506505

Abstract:
Accordingly the embodiments herein provide a method for provisioning Minimum System Information (MSI) for User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes decoding Primary Broadcast Channel (PBCH) to acquire a first Master Information Block (MIB) periodically transmitted by base station. Further, the method includes determining to perform one of bar a cell from which the first MIB is acquired for a pre-determined period of time and acquire second MIB transmitted on Secondary Broadcast Channel (SBCH) by base station based on cell barring indication received in the first MIB. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting a request message to the base station to obtain at least one SI block of the OSI. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving a list of system configuration indexes (SCIs) and corresponding configuration of SI blocks, from the base station based on SI storage capability of the UE indicated to the base station.
