Method and apparatus for determining search window and ssb bitmap

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

• determining a set of parameters associated with receiving synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), the set of parameters including a first parameter bitmap P1 associated with a serving cell, a second parameter bitmap P2 associated with at least one neighbor cell, and an SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC);
• determining a search window for searching the received SSBs based on the SMTC and at least one of the first parameter bitmap P1 or the second parameter bitmap P2;
• measuring SSBs searched during the determined search window;
• and
• sending, to a base station, measurement results associated with at least a subset of the measured SSBs.

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

• means for determining a set of parameters associated with receiving synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), the set of parameters including a first parameter bitmap P1 associated with a serving cell, a second parameter bitmap P2 associated with at least one neighbor cell, and an SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC);
• means for determining a search window for searching the received SSBs based on the SMTC and at least one of the first parameter bitmap P1 or the second parameter bitmap P2;
• means for measuring SSBs searched during the determined search window;
• and
• means for sending, to a base station, measurement results associated with at least a subset of the measured SSBs.

A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code at a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by a processor of the UE cause the processor to:

• determine a set of parameters associated with receiving synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), the set of parameters including a first parameter bitmap P1 associated with a serving cell, a second parameter bitmap P2 associated with at least one neighbor cell, and an SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC);
• determine a search window for searching received SSBs based on the SMTC and at least one of the first parameter bitmap P1 or the second parameter bitmap P2;
• measure SSBs searched during the determined search window;
• and
• send, to a base station, measurement results associated with at least a subset of the measured SSBs.
