  • the second anchor carrier has a first frequency offset from the first anchor carrier.
  • a frequency of the first anchor carrier may be determined based on radio access technology employed in the network 100. For example, for NB-IoT, the frequency of the first anchor carrier may be 180kHz. Of course, any appropriate frequency of the first anchor carrier may be employed. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this regard.
  • the network device 110 may determine whether the NB-MIB is to be transmitted on the first anchor carrier or the second anchor carrier based on available DL time resources.

  • an UL-DL configuration As can be seen from Table 1, some UL-DL configurations, such as UL-DL configurations #2, #3, #4 and #5, have more DL time resources (i.e., more than six DL subframes) in one frame while other UL-DL configurations, such as UL-DL configuration #0 and UL-DL configuration#6, have less DL time resources (i.e., two or three DL subframs) in one frame.
  • the network device 110 may determine that the NB-MIB is to be transmitted on the first anchor carrier. That is, both the narrowband synchronization signals and the NB-MIB are transmitted on the first anchor carrier. For the UL-DL configurations having less DL time resources, the network device 110 may determine that the NB-MIB is to be transmitted on the second anchor carrier. In this manner, DL time resources on both the first anchor carrier and the second anchor carrier can be used for transmissions of the narrowband synchronization signals and the narrowband system information.
  • the network device 110 may determine the available DL time resources according to a traffic model employed by the network device 110.

To this end, the network device 110 will transmit to the terminal device 120 MBMS messages occupying a large number of DL time resources. Although such UL-DL configurations as UL-DL configurations #2, #3, #4 and #5 have more DL time resources in one frame, the DL time resources might not be enough for transmission of the narrowband synchronization signals and the narrowband system information.

Due to the pre-configuration, the terminal device 120 does not need to identify the anchor carrier on which the NB-MIB is transmitted. Thus, no decoding complexity increase will be caused at the terminal device 120. This is very important for low-cost terminal devices.
  • the terminal device 120 determines (230) whether the NB-MIB is to be received on the first anchor carrier or the second anchor carrier.

Accordingly, the terminal device 120 receives, based on the determination (230) , the NB-MIB from the network device 110. In turn, the terminal device 120 may initiate access to a cell that is provided by the network device 110 by using the received narrowband synchronization signals and narrowband system information.
