1. A method comprising:
- detecting start of a system information message transmission window;
selecting a redundancy version sequence at the start of the transmission window; and
assigning a redundancy version to subframes across the transmission window in order of transmission of the subframes and according to the selected redundancy version sequence,wherein the assigning includes excluding uplink subframes, multi-cast subframes, and a predetermined subframe in even-numbered radio frames if the predetermined subframe is within the transmission window, andwherein the assigning is continuous from subframes of a first radio frame to subframes of a next radio frame.

5. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; a processor operably coupled to the memory; and instructions stored in the memory that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to detect a start of a system information message transmission window and; select a redundancy version sequence at the start of the transmission window, assign a redundancy version to subframes across the transmission window in order of transmission of the subframes and according to the selected redundancy version sequence, wherein the assignment includes excluding uplink subframes, multi-cast subframes, and a predetermined subframe in even-numbered radio frames if the predetermined subframe is within the transmission window, and wherein the assigning is continuous from subframes of a first radio frame to subframes of a next radio frame. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
-
detecting start of a system information message transmission window; and selecting a redundancy version sequence at the start of the transmission window, assigning a redundancy version to subframes across the transmission window in order of transmission of the subframes and according to the selected redundancy version sequence, wherein the assigning includes excluding uplink subframes, multi-cast subframes, and a predetermined subframe in even-numbered radio frames if the predetermined subframe is within the transmission window, and wherein assigning is continuous from subframes of a first radio frame to subframes of a next radio frame.
