The present disclosure is directed to a method of extending cell coverage, a base station using the same method, and a user equipment using the same method. In one of the exemplary embodiments, a base station transmits a system information over a physical channel located at a first physical location in a group of radio frames to a user equipment (UE). The base station would then determine based on at least a cell identification (ID) of the base station the second physical location for a repetition of the system information over the physical channel located at the second physical location in a group of radio frames. The base station would then transmit the repetition of the system information at the second physical location in the group of radio frames to the UE.
