System Information Block -13 in LTE (SIB-13)

 Ø  Contains the information required to acquire the MBMS control information associated with one or more MBSFN areas

 Ø  Introduced in Release9

System Information Block -12 in LTE (SIB-12)

 Ø  Contains a CMAS notification
 Ø  CMAS notifications carry high emerygency situations and is defined for three catagories:
-Presidential Alerts (President of a geographical location can send alerts)
-Threat Alerts (Tornado/Hurricane alerts)
-AMBER Alerts (Child abduction, endangered situation)
 Ø  introduced in Release9

Information’s:


messageIdentifier
Identifies the source and type of CMAS notification
serialNumber
Identifies variations of a CMAS notification
warningMessageSegmentType
Indicates whether the included CMAS warning message segment is the last segment or not
warningMessageSegmentNumber
Segment number of the CMAS warning message segment contained in the SIB. A segment number of zero corresponds to the first segment, one corresponds to the second segment, and so on
warningMessageSegment
Carries a segment of the Warning Message
dataCodingScheme
Identifies the alphabet/coding and the language applied variations of a CMAS notification

System Information Block -11 in LTE (SIB-11)

 Ø  Contains an ETWS secondary notification

Information’s:


messageIdentifier
Identifies the source and type of ETWS notification (earthquake, tsunami warning, any emergency or test message)
serialNumber
Identifies variations of an ETWS notification.
-uses various mechanisms to alert the user (display message, play a tone or vibrate, location where the message is applicable, also contains an update number which specifies whether a change is in the message content or not)
warningMessageSegmentType
[last/not last]
Indicates whether the included ETWS warning message segment is the last segment of the complete segment or not
warningMessageSegmentNumber
# allows ordering of the message segments
# Segment number of the ETWS warning message segment contained in the SIB. A segment number of zero corresponds to the first segment, one corresponds to the second segment, and so on
warningMessageSegment
carries actual segment of the message
dataCodingScheme
Identifies the alphabet/coding and the language applied variations of an ETWS notification

System Information Block -10 in LTE (SIB-10)

 Ø  contains an ETWS primary notification

Information’s:


messageIdentifier
Identifies the source and type of ETWS notification (earthquake, tsunami warning, any emergency or test message)
serialNumber
Identifies variations of an ETWS notification.
-uses various mechanisms to alert the user (display message, play a tone or vibrate, location where the message is applicable, also contains an update number which specifies whether a change is in the message content or not)
warningType
# Identifies the warning type of the ETWS primary notification (earthquake, tsunami, etc.) and
# provides information on emergency user alert and UE popup
warningSecurityInfo
# is optional, only applied when security is applied
# Provides security information for the ETWS notification

System Information Block -9 in LTE (SIB-9)

 Ø  Contains a home eNB name (HeNB Name)
 Ø  HeNB provie services to Closed Subscriber Groups. The HeNB name helps the user to select the correct CSG Identity when performing a manual selection

Information’s:


hnb-Name
Carries the name of the home eNB

System Information Block -7 in LTE (SIB-7)

threshX_High
# Threshold (in dB) used by UE for cell re-selection to a HIGHER priority frequency
#  The Srxlev of the candidate cell is greater than threshX_High
# Value 0 to 31 dB. Actual value= Signaled value * 2
threshX_Low
# Threshold (in dB) used by UE for cell re-selection to a LOWER priority frequency
#  Cell re-selection is allowed only when Srxlev of the candidate cell is greater than threshX_Low and RSRP of serving cell is less than the value of ThreshServingLow singalled within SIB3
# Value 0 to 31 dB. Actual value= Signaled value * 2

System Information Block -6 in LTE (SIB-6)

 Ø  Contains information relevant only for inter-RAT cell re-selection (information about UTRA frequencies and UTRA neighboring cells relevant for cell re-selection.
 Ø  Includes cell re-selection parameters common for a frequency


Information’s:

carrierFreqListUTRA_FDD/TDD
Information specified for up to 16 instances of RF carriers for FDD or TDD
carrierFreq
carrier frequency helps the UE to seach
cellReselectionPriority
defines the absolute priority of the UMTS. Value 0-7, 0 is the lowest priority
threshX_High

#  The Srxlev of the candidate cell is greater than threshX_High
# Value 0 to 31 dB. Actual value= Signaled value * 2
threshX_Low
# Threshold (in dB) used by UE for cell re-selection to a LOWER priority UMTS frequency
