Techniques for determining whether to utilize system information between multiple bandwidth carriers
First Claim
1. A method for system information in a wireless communications system, the method comprising:
- identifying, at a base station, a first value of a major value tag portion and a first value of a minor value tag portion of a value tag for a first carrier, wherein the first value of the major value tag portion and the first value of the minor value tag portion of the value tag is linked with a system information block (SIB) transmitted over the first carrier;
determining, at the base station, a second value of the major value tag portion and a second value of the minor value tag portion of the value tag for a second carrier, wherein the second value of the major value tag portion of the value tag indicates with respect to the first value of the major value tag portion of the value tag whether the SIB transmitted over the first carrier is to be utilized with respect to the second carrier, wherein the minor value tag portion of the value tag is utilized to indicate a SIB change for the second carrier, wherein the second carrier has a bandwidth different from the first carrier, and wherein one or more offsets are utilized for the SIB transmitted over the second carrier with respect to the SIB transmitted over the first carrier; and
reducing a frequency of SIB scheduling based at least on utilizing the value tag comprising the major value tag portion and the minor value tag portion.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for system information management in a wireless communications. A user equipment (UE) may identify a first value of a value tag in a first carrier, read a system information block (SIB) on the first carrier associated with the value tag, and identify a second value of the value tag in a second carrier. The UE may compare the first value with the second value and determine whether the read SIB on the first carrier may be utilized on the second carrier. Other techniques may include identifying a first value of a value tag for a first carrier linked with a SIB transmitted over the first carrier. The techniques may include determining a second value of the value tag for a second carrier indicating whether the SIB transmitted over the first carrier may be utilized on the second carrier.
