1. A method, comprising:
- determining optional configurations for parameters that override or supplement a default configuration of the parameters, wherein the optional configurations are grouped into optional parameter groups;
determining a number of the optional parameter groups to be encoded so as to not exceed a container size of a physical broadcast channel;
encoding the optional parameter groups in a system information block; and
transmitting the system information block from a network node to a user equipment.

Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from improved network communications. For example, messages sent to a user equipment may benefit from having optional configurations of parameters. A method includes determining optional configurations for parameters that override or supplement a default configuration of the parameters. The optional configurations are grouped into optional parameter groups. The method also includes encoding at least one of the optional parameter groups in a message. In addition, the method includes transmitting the message from the network node to a user equipment.
