Abstract
Aspects presented herein may enable the base station to apply coverage enhancement for one or more SSB beam(s) or a subset of SSB beams for broadcasting system information in a more efficient manner, where the base station and the UE may adapt the system information differently for different SSB beams. In one aspect, a UE may receive, from a base station, RMSI indicating beam-specific system information in association with one or more SSB beams for receiving an SSB. Then, the UE may receive the SSB from the base station based on the received RMSI indicating the beam-specific system information.
Claims28
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive, from a base station, remaining minimum system information (RMSI) indicating beam-specific system information in association with coverage enhancement for one or more synchronization signal block (SSB) beams for receiving an SSB, wherein the one or more SSB beams are stronger compared to other SSB beams or are above a threshold under the coverage enhancement;
- and
- receive the SSB from the base station based on the received RMSI indicating the beam-specific system information.
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, remaining minimum system information (RMSI) indicating beam-specific system information in association with coverage enhancement for one or more synchronization signal block (SSB) beams for receiving an SSB, wherein the one or more SSB beams are stronger compared to other SSB beams or are above a threshold under the coverage enhancement;
- and
- receiving the SSB from the base station based on the received RMSI indicating the beam-specific system information.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station (BS), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- transmit, to a first user equipment (UE), remaining minimum system information (RMSI) indicating beam-specific system information in association with coverage enhancement for one or more synchronization signal block (SSB) beams for receiving an SSB, wherein the one or more SSB beams are stronger compared to other SSB beams or are above a threshold under the coverage enhancement;
- and
- transmit the SSB to the first UE based on the transmitted RMSI indicating the beam-specific system information.
