TELECOMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A wireless terminal device configured to operate in a wireless telecommunication system which transmits a master information block and at least a first system information block comprising first scheduling information relating to the timing of at least one additional block of system information, the wireless terminal device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive the master information block from a base station of the wireless telecommunication system, the master information block including an information element indicating whether a second system information block is being transmitted by the base station; and
circuitry configured todecode the master information block;
determine whether the information element included in the master information block indicates that the second system information block is being transmitted from the base station;
ignore the first system information block when it is determined that the information element indicates that the second system information block is being transmitted from the base station;
control the receiver to receive the second system information block when it is determined that the information element indicates that the second system information block is being transmitted from the base station; and
decode the second system information block including second scheduling information relating to a timing of at least one additional block of system information.

30. A method performed by a wireless terminal device configured to operate in a wireless telecommunication system which transmits a master information block and at least a first system information block comprising first scheduling information relating to the timing of at least one additional block of system information, the method comprising:
-
receiving the master information block from a base station of the wireless telecommunication system, the master information block including an information element indicating whether a second system information block is being transmitted by the base station; decoding the master information block; determining whether the information element included in the master information block indicates that the second system information block is being transmitted from the base station; ignoring the first system information block when it is determined that the information element indicates that the second system information block is being transmitted from the base station; controlling the receiver to receive the second system information block when it is determined that the information element indicates that the second system information block is being transmitted from the base station; and decoding the second system information block including second scheduling information relating to a timing of at least one additional block of system information.
