Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 19:
20. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block,
wherein a candidate SS/PBCH block index (ISSB1) is based on a number of candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a half frame,
wherein a SS/PBCH block index (ISSB2) is based on the candidate SS/PBCH block index (ISSB1) and a parameter (Q) associated with a quasi-co-location (QCL), and
wherein, for operation with a shared spectrum channel, the SS/PBCH block index (ISSB2) is ISSB2=ISSB1 mod Q, where mod is a modular operation.
