Description
Carries physical layer information of LTE cell which in turn help receive further SIs, i.e. system bandwidth
Contains information regarding whether or not UE is allowed to access the LTE cell. It also defines the scheduling of the other SIBs.
carries cell ID, MCC, MNC, TAC, SIB mapping.
Carries common channel as well as shared channel information. It also carries RRC, uplink power control, preamble power ramping,
uplink Cyclic Prefix Length, sub-frame hopping, uplink EARFCN
carries cell re-selection information as well as Intra frequency cell re-selection information
carries Intra Frequency Neighbors(on same frequency); carries serving cell and neighbor cell frequencies required for cell reselection as
well handover between same RAT base stations(GSM BTS1 to GSM BTS2) and different RAT base stations(GSM to WCDMA or GSM
to LTE or between WCDMA to LTE etc.) . Covers E-UTRA and other RATs as mentioned
Carries Inter Frequency Neighbors(on different frequency); carries E-UTRA LTE frequencies, other neighbor cell frequencies from
other RATs. The purpose is cell reselection and handover.
carries WCDMA neighbors information i.e. carries serving UTRA and neighbor cell frequencies useful for cell re-selection
carries GSM neighbours information i.e. Carries GERAN frequencies as well as GERAN neighbor cell frequencies. It is used for cell
re-selection as well as handover purpose.
carries CDMA-2000 EVDO frequencies, CDMA-2000 neighbor cell frequencies.
carries HNBID (Home eNodeB Identifier)
carries ETWS prim. notification
carries ETWS sec. notification

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)
