Abstract
Embodiments include methods for a network node, of a radio access network (RAN), that provides a cell serving one or more user equipment (UEs). Such methods include determining a restriction to requests for on-demand delivery of system information blocks (SIBs) by at least one UE operating in the cell; and transmitting, to the at least one UE, one or more parameters associated with the restriction. Exemplary parameters include prohibit timer values and maximum number of SIBs or SIB segments that a UE can request. Other embodiments include complementary methods whereby a UE can transmit, to the network node, a request for on-demand delivery of one or more particular SIBs in accordance with the received parameters associated with the restriction. Other embodiments include network nodes and UEs configured to perform such methods.
