Query_1: Why SIBs are needed? Total Pageviews
SIBs carry relevant information for the UE, which helps UE to access a cell, perform cell re-selection,
information related to INTRA-frequency, INTER-frequency and INTER-RAT cell selections. 9 7 4 2 4 5
Query_2: How many types of SIBs are there?
Arijit Satpathy
In LTE there are 13 types of SIBs. Each SIB has its own job to do, which means, they are meant to
carry information which are related to perform their assigned job. Since school days, used to get
fascinated about the technology
Query_3: On which channels SIBs are transmitted? behind wireless
All SIBs are transmitted on BCCH->DL-SCH->PDSCH. communications. Associated
with Access side of LTE domain
and now into MEC and IoT space. Appreciate
Query_4: Minimum of how many SIBs are required for the UE to initiate Attach procedure?
Sidney Sheldon as an author, however, The
In LTE, for a UE to access the eNB, at the most minimum 2 SIBs are required (SIB1 and SIB2). Alchemist will always remain in my mind. Do write
to me @ arisatpathy at gmail dot com.
Information regarding SIB2-SIB13 are carried in SI messages and are included in schedulingInfoList
View my complete profile
which is part of SIB1.
Scheduling of SIBs: Followers
· SIB1 uses a fixed schedule with a periodicity of 80 ms and repetitions made within 80 ms. Followers (125) Next
· The first transmission of SIB1 is scheduled in subframe #5 of radio frames for which the
SFN mod 8 = 0, and
· Repetitions are scheduled in subframe #5 of all other radio frames for which SFN mod 2 =
0.
· Scheduling of other SIB's i.e. SIB-2 to SIB-9 is defined by si-Periodicity and si-
WindowLength. Both these IEs are explained below. For the rest of the SIBs, Paging is
received by UE in RRC_IDLE or RRC_CONNECTED mode for notification of an in-coming
SI message. Follow
Scenarios where UE acquire SIBs:
UE will initiate the SIB acquisition procedure in any of the following criteria's:
· UE is powered on (selecting a cell)
· Cell re-selection
· After HO completion
· After entering E-UTRAN from another RAT
· coming out of OUT OF COVERAGE situation
· receiving a notification that SYSTEM INFORMATION has changed
· receiving an indication about the presence of ETWS (Primary/Secondary), CMAS
notification
· receiving a request from CDMA 2000 upper layers
· exceeding the maximum validity duration of SIBs
HOW and WHEN UE start acquiring SIBs (other than SIB1):
There are two IE's which help the UE to calculate when to read SI messages. They are:
a. schedulingInfoList
b. si-WindowLengthd
schedulingInfoList informs the UE regarding the presence of SIB type; other than SIB1. It carriers two
more parameters:
i. si_Periodicity
ii. sib_MappingInfo
· si_Periodicity tells about the period in terms of radio frames which helps the UE to read the
required SIB. The value of this parameter is used for calculating the Radio frame where SI
will be received.
· sib_MappingInfo carries the type of SIBs mapped
si-WindowLength specifies that a SIB should be transmitted somewhere within the specified window
length. Value is in ms. This window starts at the starting sub-frame of the mentioned si_periodicity.
SIBs can be received in any of the sub-frame as mentioned in the WindowLength.
Example:
SIB1 is received by UE with the following information:
schedulingInfoList[0] SchedulingInfo
si_Periodicity SchedulingInfosi_Periodicity_rf16
sib_MappingInfo[0] SIB_TypeSIB_Type_sibType3
schedulingInfoList[1] SchedulingInfo
si_Periodicity SchedulingInfosi_Periodicity_rf32
sib_MappingInfo[0] SIB_TypeSIB_Type_sibType4
schedulingInfoList[2] SchedulingInfo
si_Periodicity SchedulingInfosi_Periodicity_rf64
sib_MappingInfo[0] SIB_TypeSIB_Type_sibType5
si_WindowLength ms20
(To look for the complete IE contents and explanation of SIB1 click here)
The above table states the following:
The first element of schedulingInfoList contains Periodicity= 16 radio frames
Window length= 20ms
sib3 or 160ms
The seond element of schedulingInfoList contains Periodicity= 32 radio frames
Window length= 20ms
sib4 or 320ms
The third element of schedulingInfoList contains Periodicity= 64 radio frames
Window length= 20ms
sib5 640ms
Now, UE needs two information to read SI.
a. One is on which which Radio frame UE will receive the SIB. To determine which Radio frame, the
formula is:
SFN mod T = FLOOR(x/10)
b. on which sub-frame will the SI window start. To determine the start of the SI window at sub-frame,
the formula is:
a = x mod 10
Query: How to determine the value of x?
x = (n – 1)*w
where,
x Integer value
a number which corrosponds to the order of entry in [Link] sib3 n is 1,
n for sib4 n is 2 and
for sib5 n is 3
w si-WindowLength
T si-Periodicity of the concerned SI message
Let's start calulating the Radio frame and SI starting sub frame for SIB3, SIB4 and SIB5
Subframe from which the SI Window starts
For SIB-3 x = (n – 1)*w a = x mod 10 The SI Window will start at sub frame 0 of
x=(1-1)*20 a= 0 mod 10 the Radio frame where SI will be acquired
x=0 a=0
x = (n – 1)*w a = x mod 10
The SI Window will start at sub frame 0 of
For SIB-4 x=(2 - 1)*20 a= 20 mod 10
the Radio frame where SI will be acquired
x=20 a=0
x = (n – 1)*w a = x mod 10
The SI Window will start at sub frame 0 of
For SIB-5 x=(3 - 1)*20 a= 40 mod 10
the Radio frame where SI will be acquired
x=40 a=0
Radio frame on which the UE will acquire designated SIB
Whenever SFN mod 16 will be 0. UE is
SFN mod 16 = FLOOR (0/10) expecting SIB3 and it will start
For SIB-3 SFN mod T = FLOOR(x/10)
SFN mod 16 = 0 looking from sub frame 0 till the end of the
mentioned si-WindowLength
Whenever SFN mod 32 will be 2. UE is
SFN mod 32 = FLOOR (20/10) expecting SIB4 and it will start looking at
For SIB-4 SFN mod T = FLOOR(x/10)
SFN mod 32 = 2 sub frame 0 till the end of the
mentioned si-WindowLength
Whenever SFN mod 64 will be 4. UE is
SFN mod 64 = FLOOR (40/10) expecting SIB5 and it will start looking at
For SIB-5 SFN mod T = FLOOR(x/10)
SFN mod 64 = 4 sub frame 0 till the end of the
mentioned si-WindowLength

Why we need SIB2 to access the eNB. Isn't SIB1 Info sufficient? How many SIBs we need to have
access the eNB in LTEAdv?

SIB2 has the needed RACH parameters along with other PHY params.
Not sure about LTEAdv. But both of them (SIB1, SIB2) should be mandatory.
