Function(Information carried)
NAS information,timer related information mainly used in IDLE/CONNECTED Mode
available URAs(max. 8 URAs in a cell)
cell selection/reselection parameters used by UE in IDLE mode, if SIB4 is not present then it can also be
used by UEs(in CONNECTED MODE).
cell selection/reselection parameters used by UE in CONNECTED mode,if not present SIB3 to be used
by UE
Carry info. on common physical channels(PICH/AICH/P-CCPCH/PRACH/SCCPCH) for UE(in IDLE
mode), in the absence of SIB6 it is also used for UE in CONNECTED state.
Carry info. on common physical channels(PICH/AICH/P-CCPCH/PRACH/SCCPCH) for UE(in
CONNECTED mode), in the absence of SIB6, UE need to use SIB5
carry fast changing cell parameter informations(uplink interference levels,dynamic persistence value)
carry static information for CPCH (only for FDD use)
carry dynamic information for CPCH (only for FDD use)
DRAC procedure related information(sent over FACH channel)
carry measurement control information(UE in IDLE mode), If SIB12 is absent it is also used for UE in
CONNECTED mode.
carry measurement control information(UE in CONNECTED mode), If SIB12 is absent, SIB11 can be
used by UE
carry ANSI-41 parameter related informations used for ANSI-41 core networks.
carry outer loop power control information(TDD mode use only),used over dedicated and common
physical channels.
carry information used for UE positioning methods(e.g. GPS/OTDOA)
carry information related to channel configuration used for handover
carry information on shared common channels(to be used in CONNECTED mode,TDD use)
carry PLMN identities of neighbouring cells(used by UE in IDLE/CONNECTED MODE)
