[TS 36.331, clause 5.2.3a]

When acquiring an SI message, the BL UE or UE in CE or NB-IoT UE shall:

1> determine the start of the SI-window for the concerned SI message as follows:

2> for the concerned SI message, determine the number n which corresponds to the order of entry in the list of SI messages configured by schedulingInfoList in SystemInformationBlockType1-BR (or SystemInformationBlockType1-NB in NB-IoT);

2> determine the integer value x = (n – 1)*w, where w is the si-WindowLength-BR (or si-WindowLength in NB-IoT);

2> if the UE is a NB-IoT UE:

3> the SI-window starts at the subframe #0 in the radio frame for which (H-SFN * 1024 + SFN) mod T = FLOOR(x/10) + Offset, where T is the si-Periodicity of the concerned SI message and, Offset is the offset of the start of the SI-Window (si-RadioFrameOffset);

2> else:

3> the SI-window starts at the subframe #0 in the radio frame for which SFN mod T = FLOOR(x/10), where T is the si-Periodicity of the concerned SI message;

Except the subframes indicated by the higher layer parameter mbsfn-SubframeConfigList or by mbsfn-SubframeConfigList-v12x0 or by laa-SCellSubframeConfig of serving cell , a UE shall:

– upon detection of a PDCCH of the serving cell with DCI format 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, or 2D intended for the UE in a subframe, or

For BL/CE UEs , the higher layers indicate the set of BL/CE DL subframes according to fdd-DownlinkOrTddSubframeBitmapBR [11].

A BL/CE UE shall upon detection of a MPDCCH with DCI format 6-1A, 6-1B, 6-2 intended for the UE, decode the corresponding PDSCH in one more BL/CE DL subframes as described in subclause 7.1.11, with the restriction of the number of transport blocks defined in the higher layers.

[TS 36.213, clause 7.1.11]

A BL/CE UE shall upon detection of a MPDCCH with DCI format 6-1A/6-1B/6-2 intended for the UE, decode the corresponding PDSCH in subframe(s) n+ki with i = 0, 1, …, N-1 according to the MPDCCH, where

– subframe n is the last subframe in which the MPDCCH is transmitted and is determined from the starting subframe of MPDCCH transmission and the DCI subframe repetition number field in the corresponding DCI; and

If PDSCH carrying SystemInformationBlockType1-BR is transmitted in one narrowband in subframe n+ki, a BL/CE UE shall assume any other PDSCH in the same narrowband in the subframe n+ki is dropped. If PDSCH carrying SI message is transmitted in one narrowband in subframe n+ki, a BL/CE UE shall assume any other PDSCH not carrying SystemInformationBlockType1-BR in the same narrowband in the subframe n+ki is dropped.

For single antenna port (port 0), transmit diversity and closed-loop spatial multiplexing transmission schemes, if a PDSCH is transmitted in BL/CE DL subframe n+ki and BL/CE DL subframe n+ki is configured as an MBSFN subframe, a BL/CE UE shall assume that the PDSCH in subframe n+ki is dropped.

The UE is not expected to receive DCI format 6-0A with both the MSB and LSB of the UL index set to 1 when N>1. In case both the MSB and LSB of the UL index are set to 1, the HARQ process number of the PUSCH corresponding the MSB of the UL index is and the HARQ process number of the PUSCH corresponding the LSB of the UL index is , where is determined according to the HARQ process number field in DCI format 6-0A
