  • the UE 110 will reuse SIB3 from CELL 5. Reusing SIB3 from CELL 5 in CELL 6 avoids the need to re-read and update the memory 230 with a newly-read value, thereby conserving system resources.
  • the remainder of the system information blocks of the present example namely SIB4, SIB5 and SIB6, are re-read when broadcast by the BS 105 of CELL 6 and stored in the memory 230 of the UE 110 to be used to establish cellular communication with the BS 105 of CELL 6.
  • the BS 105 in response to transmitting the MSI, receives cell information indicating a subset of the system information in the MSI for the cell that is different from a previous SIB stored by the UE 110 for a second cell that was previously occupied by the UE 110.
  • the BS 105 can transmit content limited to the subset of content, and exclude from the content transmitted the SIB already stored by the UE 110.
  • the UE moves from CELL 6 (in SIAID1) to CELL 1 (in SIAID4) .
  • Such a move corresponds to the UE 110 moving from point B to point C in Fig. 1, and involves moving from one SIA to a different SIA.
  • the general procedure illustrated by the flow diagram of Fig. 9 can again be followed. Reading the MSI transmitted by the BS 105 of CELL 1 enables the UE 110 to determine what, if any SIBs obtained in the current (CELL 6 in the present example) can be reused in the new cell (CELL 1 in the present example) .
  • the UE 110 For the present example, based on the identifier 240 and/or the identifier 265, the components of which are tabulated in Fig. 6 and Fig. 8, the UE 110:
  • R represents SIB5 obtained from the BS 105 of CELL 6 because the identifier 265 includes the neighbor component 270 identifying the geographic region SIAID1 in which CELL 6 is located as a neighbor. This renders system-level information of cells within SIAID1 to be system-level information within the new geographic region SIAID4. And since the level component 260 and value component 255 of SIB5 are the same for both CELL 6 and CELL 1, SIB5 is reusable in CELL 1 despite the fact that CELL 1 is in a different geographic region than CELL 6.
  • SIB6 Re-reads and stores new SIB6 transmitted by the BS 105 of CELL 1 because SIB6 is designated as cell-level information by the level component 260 of the identifiers 240, 265.
  • the UE moves from CELL 1 (in SIAID4) to CELL 3 (in SIAID4) .
  • Such a move corresponds to the UE 110 moving from point C to point D in Fig. 1, and involves moving from one cell to another in the same SIA.
  • the general procedure illustrated by the flow diagram of Fig. 9 can again be followed. Reading the MSI transmitted by the BS 105 of CELL 3 enables the UE 110 to determine what, if any SIBs obtained in the current cell (CELL 1 in the present example) can be reused in the new cell (CELL 3 in the present example) .
  • the UE 110 For the present example, based on the identifier 265 and/or the identifier 240, the components of which are tabulated in Fig. 8 and Fig. 7, respectively, the UE 110:
  • the UE moves from CELL 3 (in SIAID4 of tracking area TA1) to CELL 14 (in SIAID1 of tracking area TA2) .
  • Such a move corresponds to the UE 110 moving from point D to point E in Fig. 1, and involves moving from a SIA in tracking area TA1 to a different SIA in tracking area TA2.
  • the general procedure illustrated by the flow diagram of Fig. 9 can again be followed. Reading the MSI transmitted by the BS 105 of CELL 14 enables the UE 110 to determine what, if any SIBs obtained in the current (CELL 3 in the present example) can be reused in the new cell (CELL 14 in the present example) .
