* * * * * * * * * * * * * * Physical broadcast channel (PBCH) - The coded BCH transport block is mapped to four subframes within a 40 ms interval; - 40 ms timing is blindly detected, i.e. there is no explicit signalling indicating 40 ms timing; - Each subframe is assumed to be self-decodable, i.e. the BCH can be decoded from a single reception, assuming sufficiently good channel conditions. Physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) - Informs the UE about the number of OFDM symbols used for the PDCCHs; - Transmitted in every subframe. Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) - Informs
