System Information in LTE



System Information are of Two variant : Static(MIB) and Dynamic (SIB)

MIB: Master Information Block

Logical Chennel: BCCH
Transport Channel: BCH/PBCH
Physical Channel: PBCH

SIB: System Information Block

Logical Chennel: BCCH
Transport Channel: BCH/DL-SCH
Physical Channel: PDSCH

Total 11 SIBS (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) are there in LTE according the basic release (Release 8).
There are some more inclusioon of SIB's as per the latest release is as below,

sib12-v920     SystemInformationBlockType12-r9, 
sib13-v920     SystemInformationBlockType13-r9, 
sib14-v1130   SystemInformationBlockType14-r11,
