Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a processing system configured to:
transmit first system information corresponding to an aerial cell of a mobile network or a cell having at least one aerial sector, the aerial cell or the at least one aerial sector being formed by one or more uptilt beams of the apparatus;
transmit second system information corresponding to a terrestrial cell of the mobile network, the terrestrial cell being formed by one or more downtilt beams of the apparatus, the second system information being separate from the first system information, wherein the second system information includes a plurality of terrestrial synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), the plurality of terrestrial SSBs being configured for the terrestrial cell of the mobile network, wherein to transmit the second system information, the processing system is configured to:
transmit a terrestrial SSB of the plurality of terrestrial SSBs; and
transmit a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) according to a CSI-RS configuration, the CSI-RS configuration being based at least on the terrestrial SSB;

perform, according to the first system information, a random access channel (RACH) procedure with an aerial user equipment (UE); and
establish, via the aerial cell or the at least one aerial sector, a communications link with the aerial UE.
