Abstract

A method and user equipment (UE) are provided for receiving system information in a wireless communication system. The UE receives, from a base station, a master information block (MIB) indicating that the base station broadcasts a first system information block type 1 (SIB1) for a specific type of UE. The UE receives the first SIB1 for the specific type of UE when the MIB indicates that the base station broadcasts the first SIB1 for the specific type of UE, and receives a first set of at least one system information block (SIB) from the base station based on the first SIB1. The first set of at least one SIB is scheduled within a first bandwidth that is smaller than a second bandwidth for a second set of at least one SIB.
