A method for provisioning system information, SI, for a user equipment, UE , in a wireless communication system , the method being performed by the UE and comprising decoding a broadcast channel to acquire first system information periodically transmitted by a base station , wherein the first system information is distributed as at least a first master information block, MIB#1, and a second master information block MIB#2, on at least a primary broadcast channel, PBCH, and a secondary broadcast channel, SBCH; applying at least one cell selection parameter indicated in the first system information to camp on a cell served by the base station; storing the first system information ; accessing the camped cell based on at least one random access parameter indicated in the first system information; determining whether at least one of a system information block of second system information available in the camped cell is provided based on at least one of a periodic broadcast and an on-demand basis, wherein the at least one system information block of the second system information is associated with at least a system information area identifier, SAID, and a system information configuration index, SCI, and the on-demand basis to deliver the system information block of the second system information available in the camped cell is decided based on an indicator included in the first system information for the system information block; and monitoring a paging channel to receive a paging message to determine whether at least one of the system information block of second system information available in the camped cell is expected to be updated based on one or more of the SAID and the SCI, associated with each of the at least one system information block of second system information, included in a common part of the paging message. decoding a broadcast channel to acquire first system information periodically transmitted by a base station , wherein the first system information is distributed as at least a first master information block, MIB#1, and a second master information block MIB#2, on at least a primary broadcast channel, PBCH, and a secondary broadcast channel, SBCH; applying at least one cell selection parameter indicated in the first system information to camp on a cell served by the base station; storing the first system information ; accessing the camped cell based on at least one random access parameter indicated in the first system information; determining whether at least one of a system information block of second system information available in the camped cell is provided based on at least one of a periodic broadcast and an on-demand basis, wherein the at least one system information block of the second system information is associated with at least a system information area identifier, SAID, and a system information configuration index, SCI, and the on-demand basis to deliver the system information block of the second system information available in the camped cell is decided based on an indicator included in the first system information for the system information block; and monitoring a paging channel to receive a paging message to determine whether at least one of the system information block of second system information available in the camped cell is expected to be updated based on one or more of the SAID and the SCI, associated with each of the at least one system information block of second system information, included in a common part of the paging message. <EOS>
