    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from efficient communication of system information. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from system information block enhancement for low complexity user equipment and/or user equipment in coverage enhancement mode. A method can include decoding a transport block size (TBS) index in a compact downlink control information. The method can also include monitoring for SIB based on the decoded TBS index. The method may optionally include monitoring for the SIB based on a predefined transmission pattern of physical downlink control channel for machine type communication. The method may also optionally include decoding of M-SI messages from a subframe according to a pattern indicated by an information element in M-SIB1.

    Abstract: An apparatus including at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to receive and process a communication connection reestablishment request from a communication element communicating in a multi-connectivity mode, to decide, in case a communication connection with the communication element is established, whether or not the multi-connectivity mode of the communication element is kept, and to cause a transmission of an indication towards a source communication network control element of the communication element, wherein the indication reflects the decision whether or not the multi-connectivity mode of the communication element is kept.
