New radio (nr) remaining minimum system information (rmsi) multiplexing and periodicity considerations

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor in electrical communication with a communications interface;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• identify, by the UE, an indicator that signals a type of multiplexing and a periodicity for transmission, by a base station, of remaining minimum system information (RMSI), wherein the type of multiplexing is for multiplexing the RMSI with a synchronization signal SS block;
• determine, by the UE, the type of multiplexing and the periodicity based on the indicator;
• and
• process, by the UE, the upcoming transmission of RMSI based on the type of multiplexing and the periodicity.

A base station, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine, by a base station, a type of multiplexing and a periodicity for transmission of remaining minimum system information (RMSI), wherein the type of multiplexing is for multiplexing the RMSI with a synchronization signal (SS) block;
• and
• generate, by the base station, an indicator that signals the type of multiplexing and the periodicity.

A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• identify, by a user equipment (UE), an indicator that signals a type of multiplexing and a periodicity for transmission, by a base station, of remaining minimum system information (RMSD), wherein the type of multiplexing is for multiplexing the RMSI with a synchronization signal SS block;
• determine, by the UE, the type of multiplexing and the periodicity based on the indicator;
• and
• process, by the UE, the upcoming transmission of RMSI based on the type of multiplexing and the periodicity.
