(57) Abstract :
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate notifying and detecting system information block (SIB) modification in
subsequent modification periods. Access points can advertise information in a current SIB indicating a subsequent modification period
in which the SIB will be modified. Devices can receive the SIB and process the information to determine whether the SIB will be
modified and in which modification period. This mitigates undesirable affects of utilizing paging to indicate SIB modification since
devices read the SIB upon entering a cell, switching from active to idle mode, etc.
