Cell information acquisition method and apparatus

A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to implement a method comprising:

• receive, by a wireless device, a request to obtain a cell global identifier (CGI), a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID), and a tracking area code (TAC) included in a cell information associated with a target cell;
• receive, from the target cell, a first synchronization block;
• determine that the first synchronization block is not associated with the cell information associated with the target cell, and determine that the first synchronization block comprises information related to a second synchronization block;
• and
• transmit, to a serving cell and in response to the request to obtain the cell information, an indication that the first synchronization block is not associated with the cell information associated with the target cell, and the information related to the second synchronization block.

A wireless communication method, comprising:

• transmitted, by a serving cell to a wireless device, a request instructing the wireless device to obtain a cell global identifier (CGI), a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID), and a tracking area code (TAC) included in a cell information associated with a target cell;
• and
• receiving, by the serving cell from the wireless device and in response to the request to obtain the cell information, an indication that the first synchronization block is not associated with the cell information associated with the target cell, and an information related to a first synchronization block indicating that the wireless device received a second synchronization block of the target cell that is not associated with the cell information of the target cell,
• wherein the second synchronization block includes the information related to the first synchronization block.
