Claim 16:
17. An apparatus at a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
means for selecting a synchronization signal block (SSB) having a reference signal received power (RSRP) above a threshold, wherein the SSB corresponds to a beam;
means for receiving a system information block (SIB) that includes:
first system information associated with a plurality of synchronization signal block identifiers (SSB IDs) and a first UE software type; and
second system information associated with a second UE software type, the second system information comprising a plurality of pairs including a first pair and a second pair, the first pair indicating a first SSB ID and first beam-specific system information associated with the first SSB ID, the second pair indicating a second SSB ID and second beam-specific system information associated with the second SSB ID;

means for selecting, from the second system information, a beam-specific system information by matching the selected SSB to an SSB ID in the plurality of pairs; and
means for establishing a connection with a base station (BS) using the beam-specific system information.
