Patent Images
1. A method that facilitates detecting a system information block, the method comprising:
- selecting a type of scheduling information pertaining to the system information block;
associating a known parameter with the type of scheduling information, wherein a decoding of the system information block is facilitated by an association of the known parameter with the type of scheduling information independent of a Physical Downlink Control Channel transmission; and
transmitting the system information block to a wireless terminal.

Abstract
Aspects are disclosed for detecting a system information block (SIB) within a heterogeneous network. In one aspect, a type of scheduling information pertaining to an SIB is selected, and a parameter known to a wireless terminal is associated with the type of scheduling information. The wireless terminal then decodes the SIB by deriving the scheduling information from the known parameters, without having to decode a Physical Downlink Control Channel.
