Abstract
Systems and methods for broadcast control channel power boost scheduling for wireless communications base stations are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises transmitting a downlink wireless communication frame from a base station to UE within a coverage area, the downlink wireless communication frame comprising a first bandwidth divided into a first plurality of resource blocks; determining when a slot of the frame is scheduled to carry a downlink broadcast control channel; when the slot is not scheduled to carry the downlink broadcast control channel, scheduling the first plurality of resource blocks for the slot; when the slot is scheduled to carry the downlink broadcast control channel, scheduling fewer resource blocks than the first plurality of resource blocks for the slot in a second bandwidth smaller than the first bandwidth; and modulating the slot using a number of subcarriers corresponding to a number of scheduled resource blocks.
