Why MIB is carrying BW information? Without BW information if UE cannot proceed then how does it reads MIB,CSRS and other signals from ENB?

Hi,

Without BW information UE cannot decode other channels. Like total no of PDCCH CCE is based on the PCFICH and BW. Also BW says no of RB's used for DL allocation. Based on BW information UE will get to know the starting RB's and ending RB's.

LTE: What is the significance of broadcasting system bandwidth information in master information block (MIB) ?

When an UE switch on, first it synchronizes (PSS and SSS) with cell and start reading system information. My question is what UE does after getting system bandwidth information from MIB ? What is the significance of this for an UE ? Does UE take different actions based on cell bandwidth ?

LTE: Why eNodeB scramble MIB information with antenna specific mask before broadcasting over the air ?

At the high level I understand LTE nodes and signalling but want to learn in depth. I read one statement saying " MIB information is scrambled with antenna specific mask". Now I want to understand if an eNodeB supports multiple antennas (saying two antennas) , known as MIMO, then in that case, does an eNodeB sends MIB information into two different frequency spaces ? MIB is transmitted into subframe #0 of each radio frame.
Now I have doubt when we say MIB is scrambled with antenna specific mask before broadcasting and only middle 6 RBs are used to braodcast MIB, then in case of MIMO where multiple antennas are being used to send MIBs. Shall MIB from both the antennas overlap due to same 6 RBs or the same 6 RBs can be used to broadcast MIBs from both the antennas ?
