1. A base station apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
periodically transmit N synchronization signal blocks to one or more User Equipment (UE), where N is positive integer, each synchronization signal block comprising a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) and a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH); and
transmit one or more System Information Block type 1 (SIB1) carried by a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) located in a common search space and including an added Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) which is scrambled by a System Information Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SI-RNTI), wherein
a time resource of the PDSCH carrying the SIB1 is determined based on a Master Information Block (MIB) carried by the PBCH, and an index of a first synchronization signal block from among the N synchronization signal blocks.
