NR CGI indication for cells without SIB 1

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive, from a second base station, a first indication of a cell global identifier (CGI) associated with the second base station via downlink control information (DCI) over a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the first indication is outside of system information block (SIB) 1 (SIB 1), and wherein the DCI comprises the first indication of the CGI, and wherein the first indication is associated with an enablement of an automatic neighbor cell relation (ANR) function;
• refrain from monitoring for the SIB 1 associated with the second base station;
• and
• transmit, to a first base station, a second indication of the CGI associated with the second base station based on the received first indication of the CGI, wherein the second indication is outside of the SIB 1.
