Data-aided SSB signal processing

A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a base station, a target time domain signal carrying a target synchronization signal block (SSB), the target SSB including received data carried in a broadcast channel of the target SSB;
• reconstructing, based on received data carried in a broadcast channel of a previously received SSB, transmitted data placed in the broadcast channel of the target SSB at the base station;
• generating a reference time domain signal based on the reconstructed transmitted data;
• and
• performing a channel estimation based on a comparison of the target time domain signal and the reference time domain signal.

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

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive a target synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station;
• obtain received data carried in a broadcast channel of the target SSB;
• reconstruct, based on received data carried in a broadcast channel of a previously received SSB, transmitted data placed in the broadcast channel of the target SSB at the base station;
• and
• perform a channel estimation and/or synchronization based on a comparison of the received data and the transmitted data of the target SSB.
