               1. A method, performed by a distributed unit (DU) for a radio access network (RAN) node in a 5G communication network defining one or more cells, of dynamically scheduling system information block (SIB8) warning messages, the method comprising: 
            in response to a write-replace warning request for broadcasting a SIB8 warning message, determining a weightage of the SIB8 warning message; 
                determining, based on the weightage, a system information periodicity for the SIB8 warning message and a change of one or both a default paging cycle and a modification period coefficient parameter so that the change corresponds to an initial delay before broadcasting the SIB8 warning message; and 
                scheduling a broadcast of the SIB8 warning message with broadcast timing based on the system information periodicity and pre-provisioned default paging cycle and modification period coefficient parameters.
