Embodiments of the present invention disclose a reference signal transmission method. A transmitting apparatus multiplies M first symbol sequences by M coefficients respectively to obtain M second symbol sequences, where M is a positive integer greater than 1, the symbol sequence includes L symbols, L is a positive integer greater than 1, and the M coefficients each have a magnitude of 1. The transmitting apparatus maps the M second symbol sequences onto a first time-frequency resource to obtain a frequency domain signal. The transmitting apparatus performs an IFFT operation on the frequency domain signal to obtain a time domain signal. And the transmitting apparatus sends the time domain signal.

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.
