Abstract
A communication device for handling system information comprises a storage unit for storing instructions and a processing means coupled to the storage unit. The processing means is configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit. The instructions comprise receiving at least one legacy system information block (SIB) including at least one first configuration in a cell; receiving at least one enhanced coverage (EC) SIB including at least one second configuration in the cell; and applying the at least one second configuration instead of the at least one first configuration, when the communication device is a low complexity communication device or is configured to apply the at least one EC SIB instead of the at least one legacy SIB wherein the at least one first configuration and the at least one second configuration are transmitted for a same communication function.
