Abstract

The present invention provides, inter alia, a method of operation of a radio base station in a wireless telecommunications system, in which system information is transmitted on a broadcast control channel. The method comprises the steps of transmitting the broadcast control channel continuously on a first carrier; and also transmitting the broadcast control channel non-continuously and periodically at regular intervals. This prevents or at least minimizes, for example, MBMS data loss when a UE with a single receiver listens to a dedicated MBMS carrier.
