Solution Overview

Problem

In 5G communication systems, terminal devices face increased detection complexity and delay due to the need to sequentially search for synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) without prior information on which SSBs are associated with Remaining System Information (RMSI), leading to inefficient network access.

Innovation Solution

The proposal involves transmitting multiple SSBs with specific frequency location association relationships within a wideband CC, allowing terminal devices to determine the resource location of SSBs associated with control information through indication in the physical broadcast channel, reducing blind detection and enhancing access efficiency.
