TIME GAPS IN SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCKS

Abstract:

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, using a first bandwidth, at least one synchronization signal associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB). The UE may receive, using a second bandwidth, at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel and associated with the SSB. The at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel are separated by a time gap. In some aspects, the at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel are received using a second beam. Accordingly, the UE may additionally receive, using a first beam, at least one additional synchronization signal associated with an additional SSB. The SSB and the additional SSB are separated by a beam switching gap. Numerous other aspects are described.
