1. An evolved node B (eNB) operable to transmit physical broadcast channel (PBCH) contents, the eNB having computer circuitry configured to:
- configure one or more repetitions of PBCH content for transmission, to a user equipment (UE), from a cell at a selected time interval;
select a scrambling code for the one or more repetitions of PBCH content transmitted from the cell; and
apply the scrambling code to one or more repetitions of PBCH content.

Abstract
Technology for transmitting physical broadcast channel (PBCH) contents is disclosed. An evolved node B (eNB) may configure one or more repetitions of PBCH content for transmission, to a user equipment (UE), from a cell at a selected time interval. The eNB may select a scrambling code for the one or more repetitions of PBCH content transmitted from the cell. The eNB may apply the scrambling code to one or more repetitions of PBCH content.

16. A method for transmitting physical broadcast channel (PBCH) contents, the method comprising:
-
configuring one or more repetitions of PBCH content, at an evolved node B (eNB), for transmission to a user equipment (UE) from a cell at a selected timing interval; selecting an orthogonal code cover for the one or more repetitions of PBCH content at the eNB, wherein the orthogonal code cover is selected to substantially cancel PBCH interference at the UE; and applying the orthogonal code cover to the one or more repetitions of PBCH content. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An evolved node B (eNB) operable to transmit physical broadcast channel (PBCH) contents, the eNB having computer circuitry configured to:
-
configure one or more repetitions of PBCH content for transmission, to a user equipment (UE), from a cell at a selected timing interval; select an offset value for the one or more repetitions of PBCH content, wherein the offset value is selected to substantially avoid PBCH collisions at the UE; and apply the offset value to the one or more repetitions of PBCH content. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
