Abstract
Methods and wireless devices for monitoring system information in a wireless communications network. An example method comprises selecting (620) a first downlink signal carrying uplink access configuration information, from among two or more candidate downlink signals carrying uplink access configuration information, based at least in part on signal quality measurements performed on the first downlink signal. The example method further includes selecting (630) a second downlink signal carrying tracking area information, from among two or more candidate downlink signals carrying tracking area information, based at least in part on signal quality measurements performed on the second downlink signal, where the selection of the second downlink signal is independent of the selection of the first downlink signal. The method further comprises camping (640) on the selected first downlink signal to monitor for uplink access configuration information, while simultaneously camping on the selected second downlink signal to monitor for tracking area information.

26. A wireless device configured for operation in a wireless communications network, the wireless device comprising:
-
a transceiver circuit configured to receive one or more downlink signals from each of two or more wireless network nodes and to transmit uplink signals to one or more wireless network nodes; and a processing circuit operatively connected to the transceiver circuit and configured to; select a first downlink signal carrying uplink access configuration information, from among two or more candidate downlink signals carrying uplink access configuration information, based at least in part on signal quality measurements performed on the first downlink signal; select a second downlink signal carrying tracking area information, from among two or more candidate downlink signals carrying tracking area information, based at least in part on signal quality measurements performed on the second downlink signal, wherein the selection of the second downlink signal is independent of the selection of the first downlink signal; monitor the selected first downlink signal for uplink access configuration information and monitor the selected second downlink signal for tracking area information, using the transceiver circuit, over respective periods that at least partially overlap. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising, stored thereupon, a computer program product comprising program instructions for execution by a processor in a wireless device, the program instructions being configured so that, when the program instructions are executed by the processor, the program instructions cause the wireless device to:
-
select a first downlink signal carrying uplink access configuration information, from among two or more candidate downlink signals carrying uplink access configuration information, based at least in part on signal quality measurements performed on the first downlink signal; select a second downlink signal carrying tracking area information, from among two or more candidate downlink signals carrying tracking area information, based at least in part on signal quality measurements performed on the second downlink signal, wherein the selection of the second downlink signal is independent of the selection of the first downlink signal; camp on the selected first downlink signal to monitor for uplink access configuration information while simultaneously camping on the selected second downlink signal to monitor for tracking area information.
