1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
receive a network access control broadcast comprising access control criteria associated with connecting to a network device and comprising a set of measurement thresholds associated with one or more synchronization signal blocks;
determine an access category associated with the UE and an access identity of the UE associated with the access category, wherein the access category of the UE is specific to a reduced capability classification of the UE; and
selectively perform a random access procedure to connect to the network device based at least in part on the set of measurement thresholds in accordance with the access control criteria, the access identity of the UE, and the access category associated with the UE.
