Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor in communication with the transceiver, the at least one processor being configured, individually or in any combination, to:
receive 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;

select a synchronization signal block (SSB) having a reference signal received power (RSRP) above a threshold, wherein the SSB corresponds to a beam;
select, from the second system information, a beam-specific system information by matching the selected SSB to one of SSB IDs in the plurality of pairs; and
establish a connection with a base station (BS) using the beam-specific system information.
