NR Broadcast Channel Transmission

A user equipment (UE) configured to receive system information from a network node of a wireless communication system, the system information being in a synchronization signal (SS) block of an SS burst set comprising at least one SS block, wherein the system information is multiplexed with information providing an SS block index indicating which SS block of the SS burst set is being received, the UE comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the UE is configured to:
• receive the system information by descrambling the system information using a scrambling sequence generated based on the SS block index, and
• determine whether the information providing the SS block index is accurate, based on a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) related to the received system information.

A network node of a wireless communication network configured to transmit system information to a user equipment (UE) in a synchronization signal (SS) block of an SS burst set comprising at least one SS block and an SS block index indicating which SS block of the SS burst set is being transmitted, the network node comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the network node is configured to:
• scramble the system information using a scrambling sequence generated based on the SS block index, and
• transmit, to the UE, the scrambled system information multiplexed with information providing the SS block index and a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) related to the system information.
