Patent ID: 11696263

Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for SIB1-NB transmission. In one embodiment, a method performed by a network node configured to include a scheduling information parameter in a master information block, MIB, and communicate the MIB to a wireless device, the scheduling information parameter usable to schedule a system information block type 1 for narrow band communication, SIB1-NB, for a time division duplex, TDD transmission is provided. The method comprising indicating the SIB1-NB scheduling information for TDD at least in part by a value of the scheduling information parameter being associated with a predefined entry in at least one TDD-specific table, the indicated SIB1-NB scheduling information including: at least one subframe to use for the SIB1-NB transmission; a number of repetitions of the SIB1-NB transmission; and a transport block size, TBS, to use for the SIB1-NB transmission.
