Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may measure a signal strength for each beam of a set of multiple beams. The UE may select, from the set of multiple beams, a set of two or more beams each having a respective signal strength satisfying a threshold. The UE may attempt to decode a first broadcast channel signal of a first beam of the set of two or more beams in a single broadcast channel period. The UE may decode, after failing to decode the first broadcast channel signal of the first beam, a second broadcast channel signal of a second beam of the set of two or more beams in the single broadcast channel period.
Claims22
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processing system that includes processor circuitry and memory circuitry that stores code, the processing system configured to cause the UE to:
- measure a signal strength for each beam of a plurality of beams;
- select, from the plurality of beams, a set of two or more beams each having a respective signal strength satisfying a threshold;
- attempt to decode a first broadcast channel signal of a first beam of the set of two or more beams in a single broadcast channel period;
- and
- decode, after failing to decode the first broadcast channel signal of the first beam and based at least in part on a second broadcast channel signal being received temporally after the first broadcast channel signal, the second broadcast channel signal of a second beam of the set of two or more beams in the single broadcast channel period.

A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- measuring a signal strength for each beam of a plurality of beams;
- selecting, from the plurality of beams, a set of two or more beams each having a respective signal strength satisfying a threshold;
- attempting to decode a first broadcast channel signal of a first beam of the set of two or more beams in a single broadcast channel period;
- and
- decoding, after failing to decode the first broadcast channel signal of the first beam and based at least in part on a second broadcast channel signal being received temporally after the first broadcast channel signal, the second broadcast channel signal of a second beam of the set of two or more beams in the single broadcast channel period.
