Claim 0:
1. A method of determining an index of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
detecting a SS/PBCH block on a cell,
wherein the detected SS/PBCH block includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a PBCH with a PBCH demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) sequence for the PBCH, and
wherein the PBCH DM-RS sequence is related to (i) a cell identifier (ID) of the cell and (ii) an index of the detected SS/PBCH block; and
determining the index of the detected SS/PBCH block based on a one-to-one mapping with the PBCH DM-RS sequence for the PBCH.
