Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a first synchronization signal associated with a first beam, and receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the first synchronization signal, scheduling information. Accordingly, the UE may receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the scheduling information, first system information associated with the first beam. The first system information may be distinct from second system information associated with a second beam. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may receive the first system information using one or more first reception parameters that are distinct from one or more second reception parameters for the second system information associated with the second beam. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (64)

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

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

receive, from a base station, a first synchronization signal associated with a first beam;

receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the first synchronization signal, scheduling information indicating repetition or periodicity parameters for reception of first system information; and

receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the scheduling information and the repetition or periodicity parameters, the first system information comprising first other system information (OSI) associated with the first beam, wherein the first OSI is distinct from second OSI, in second system information, associated with a second beam, wherein the first OSI indicates at least one first parameter associated with a random access procedure that is distinct from at least one second parameter associated with the random access procedure indicated by the second OSI.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information is associated with the first beam and the second beam.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information comprises remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first parameter includes:

a random access repetition for a random access preamble,

a random access repetition for a random access response (RAR),

a length of an RAR window,

a number of segments for the RAR window, or

a combination thereof.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first OSI indicates at least one first parameter associated with a paging procedure that is distinct from at least one second parameter associated with the paging procedure indicated by the second OSI.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the at least one first parameter includes:

a periodicity associated with the paging procedure,

a repetition associated with the paging procedure, or

a combination thereof.

7. An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a first synchronization signal associated with a first beam;

transmit, from the base station and based at least in part on the first synchronization signal, scheduling information indicating repetition or periodicity parameters for transmission of first system information; and

transmit, to the UE and based at least in part on the scheduling information and the repetition or periodicity parameters, the first system information comprising first other system information (OSI) associated with the first beam, wherein the first OSI is distinct from second OSI, in second system information, associated with a second beam, wherein the first OSI indicates at least one first parameter associated with a random access procedure that is distinct from at least one second parameter associated with the random access procedure indicated by the second OSI.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the scheduling information is associated with the first beam and the second beam.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the scheduling information comprises remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first parameter includes:

a random access repetition for a random access preamble,

a random access repetition for a random access response (RAR),

a length of an RAR window,

a number of segments for the RAR window, or

a combination thereof.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first OSI indicates at least one first parameter associated with a paging procedure that is distinct from at least one second parameter associated with the paging procedure indicated by the second OSI.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the at least one first parameter includes:

a periodicity associated with the paging procedure,

a repetition associated with the paging procedure, or

a combination thereof.

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

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

receive, from a base station, a first synchronization signal associated with a first beam;

receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the first synchronization signal, scheduling information indicating repetition or periodicity parameters for reception of first system information; and

receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the scheduling information and the repetition or periodicity parameters, the first system information comprising first other system information (OSI) associated with the first beam, wherein the first OSI is received using one or more first reception parameters that are distinct from one or more second reception parameters for second OSI, in second system information, associated with a second beam, wherein the first OSI indicates at least one first parameter associated with a random access procedure that is distinct from at least one second parameter associated with the random access procedure indicated by the second OSI.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the scheduling information is associated with the first beam and the second beam.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the scheduling information comprises remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the one or more first reception parameters include:

a repetition associated with the first system information,

a periodicity associated with the first system information, or

a combination thereof.

17. An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a first synchronization signal associated with a first beam;

transmit, from the base station and based at least in part on the first synchronization signal, scheduling information indicating repetition or periodicity parameters for transmission of first system information; and

transmit, to the UE and based at least in part on the scheduling information, first system information comprising first other system information (OSI) associated with the first beam, wherein the first OSI is transmitted using one or more first reception parameters that are distinct from one or more second reception parameters for second OSI, in second system information, associated with a second beam, wherein the first OSI indicates at least one first parameter associated with a random access procedure that is distinct from at least one second parameter associated with the random access procedure indicated by the second OSI.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the scheduling information is associated with the first beam and the second beam.
