Transmission of physical broadcast channel for new radio

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• select between a first frequency range and a second frequency range to transmit a physical channel, wherein the second frequency range comprises an above-6 GHz frequency range and the first frequency range comprises a sub-6 GHz frequency range;
• and
• jointly encode at least two fields of the physical channel based at least in part on the selected frequency range, wherein a field from the at least two fields of the physical channel comprises an indication of a remaining system information (RMSI) associated with a sync signal block (SSB).

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a transmission of a physical channel on a first frequency range or a second frequency range, wherein the second frequency range comprises an above-6 GHz frequency range and the first frequency range comprises a sub-6 GHz frequency range;
• and
• decode at least two fields of the physical channel that were jointly encoded based at least in part on a frequency range used to transmit the physical channel, wherein a field from the at least two fields of the physical channel comprises an indication of a remaining system information (RMSI) associated with a sync signal block (SSB).
