Abstract:
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing Synchronization Single Block (SSB) transmission using a number of SSB beams. An embodiment operates by determining a SSB index for a SSB based on a candidate position in a set of candidate positions and the number of SSB beams. The embodiment determines a shift value for the SSB index based on the candidate position and the number of SSB beams. The embodiment determines a frame timing for the SSB based the SSB index and the shift value for the SSB index. The embodiment then transmits, by radio front end circuitry, the SSB to a user equipment (UE) based on the frame timing for the SSB.
