System information parameters are broadcast to UEs.

for cell selection and cell re-selection

UE must camp on best cell to be ready for service(s) to receive paging
information from network
MT call or MT packet session setup initiated by network to inform the UE
(user) about Tsunami or Earthquake warning (ETWS) to access the radio
network via UL (DL) common channels access parameter and access
scheme to start a connection

• UE knows where to find Master Information Block

MIB is broadcast in the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)

in MIB UE receives basic system information

• On reception of System Information Block 1

UE is able to receive scheduling information for all other SIBs

SIB 2..SIB 7 supported from RL10
SIB 2..SIB 7 are scheduled on PDSCH similar like other user data or signaling –
so UE needs to know where to listen and receive

Each SI message is transmitted periodically si[n]Periodicity (per SIB) in time domain

windows (i.e. SI-Window) and SI-Windows for different SI messages do not overlap
The length of a SI-window siWindowLen is common for all SI messages
One SI could be repeated during the SI-window as indicated by the parameter
si[n]Repetition (per SIB)
The parameter si[n]MappingInfo (per SIB) indicates which System Information
Blocks are contained in the SI-[n] message:

All MSs are members of one out of ten randomly allocated mobile populations,
defined as Access Classes 0 to 9. The population number is stored in the SIM. In
addition, mobiles may be members of one or more out of 5 special categories
(Access Classes 11 to 15), also held in the SIM. These are allocated to specific high
priority users as follows. (The enumeration is not meant as a priority sequence):
Class 15 - PLMN Staff;
-"- 14 - Emergency Services;
-"- 13 - Public Utilities (e.g. water/gas
suppliers);
-"- 12 - Security Services;
-"- 11 - For PLMN Use.

Access Classes are applicable as follows:

Classes 0 - 9 - Home and
Visited PLMNs;
Classes 11 and 15 - Home PLMN only;
Classes 12, 13, 14 - Home PLMN and visited
PLMNs of home country only

Oc: Originating Calls

An additional control bit known as "Access Class 10" is also signaled over the air
interface to the UE. This indicates whether or not network access for Emergency
Calls is allowed for UEs with access classes 0 to 9 or without an IMSI.

LNCEL: ocAcProbFac
The Access Probability Factor defines a probability for a UE to establish an RRC
connection. The UE draws a random number (0 = rand < 1). If rand is higher than
the value indicated by the Access probability factor then the UE considers the
Access barring check to be unsuccessful. Range and Step:
0 (0%), 1 (5%), 2 (10%), 3 (15%), 4 (20%), 5 (25%), 6 (30%), 7 (40%), 8 (50%), 9
(60%), 10 (70%), 11 (75%), 12 (80%), 13 (85%), 14 (90%), 15 (95%)

3 steps to setup RRC connection：

UE->eNB: RRC Connection REQ
eNB->UE: RRC Connection Setup
UE->eNB: RRC Connection Setup Complete

eNB sends this parameter to the UE in the message RRC CONNECTION REJECT.
The UE will consider access to the cell as barred for the time specified by t302.

Start: Transmission of RRCConnectionRequest

Stop: Reception of RRCConnectionSetup or RRCConnectionReject message, cell
re-selection and upon abortion of connection establishment by upper layers

At expiry: Perform the actions as specified in 36.331, 5.3.3.6

UE Timers and Constants used by UE during RRC re-establishment

If there is Access Stratum (AS) security active for a UE, it may initiate RRC Re-
establishment procedure when one of the following happens: (failure triggers)

detection of radio link failure

handover failure
mobility from E-UTRAN failure
integrity check failure indication from lower layers
RRC connection reconfiguration failure

If there is no AS security activated for the UE : go to RRC_idle mode

Primary Notification:
is broadcasted as soon as possible to all camping and connected UEs under the
coverage of an eNB.
The eNB executes repeated paging in all paging groups as indication about primary
notification.
Secondary Notification:
is broadcasted in segmented manner in SIB11.

Note, It is not possible to enable LTE494: Commercial Mobile Alert System feature
and LTE843: ETWS broadcast feature simultaneously per one eNB.
Activation / deactivation of Commercial Mobile Alert System by setting the actCMAS
pwsWithEmAreaId indicates if the CMAS uses Emergency Area IDs to indicate in
the WRWR message in which cells the warning is broadcasted.
• If a Warning Message including Emergency Area IDs is received by the eNB and
the parameter pwsWithEmAreaId is set to False, this Warning Message is not
broadcasted by the eNB.
• If set to True, the configuration of emAreaId parameter is required.
If actCMAS is set to True, the sibSchedulingList must contain SIB12 configuration
(siMessageSibType of one set must be set to SIB12).
Periodicity, Repetition and SIB type for SIB12 must be configured by the operator. If
actCMAS is set to True, pwsWithEmAreaId configuration is required.
If actCMAS is set to True, Activation ETWS support (actETWS) parameter must be
set to false.
If pwsWithEmAreaId is set to True, emAreaId configuration is required.
