Title: Time gaps in synchronization signal blocks

Description:
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for configuring time gaps in synchronization signal blocks. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). 
     A wireless network may include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs). A UE may communicate with a BS via the downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP), a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP), a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, or the like. 
     The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. NR, which may also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using OFDM with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim. 
     Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. 
     It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G). 
       FIG. 1  is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network  100 , in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network  100  may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and/or an LTE network, among other examples. The wireless network  100  may include a number of base stations  110  (shown as BS  110   a , BS  110   b , BS  110   c , and BS  110   d ) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, a Node B, a gNB, a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP), or the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and/or a BS subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. 
     A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In the example shown in  FIG. 1 , a BS  110   a  may be a macro BS for a macro cell  102   a , a BS  110   b  may be a pico BS for a pico cell  102   b , and a BS  110   c  may be a femto BS for a femto cell  102   c . A BS may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” may be used interchangeably herein. 
     In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network  100  through various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network. 
     Wireless network  100  may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown in  FIG. 1 , a relay BS  110   d  may communicate with macro BS  110   a  and a UE  120   d  in order to facilitate communication between BS  110   a  and UE  120   d . A relay BS may also be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay, or the like. 
     Wireless network  100  may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, or the like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in wireless network  100 . For example, macro BSs may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts). 
     A network controller  130  may couple to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller  130  may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul. 
     UEs  120  (e.g.,  120   a ,  120   b ,  120   c ) may be dispersed throughout wireless network  100 , and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, or the like. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium. 
     Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and/or location tags, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE  120  may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE  120 , such as processor components and/or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled. 
     In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed. 
     In some aspects, two or more UEs  120  (e.g., shown as UE  120   a  and UE  120   e ) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station  110  as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs  120  may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol or a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In this case, the UE  120  may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station  110 . 
     Devices of wireless network  100  may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided based on frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of wireless network  100  may communicate using an operating band having a first frequency range (FR1), which may span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and/or may communicate using an operating band having a second frequency range (FR2), which may span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is often referred to as a “millimeter wave” band despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band. Thus, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is contemplated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges. 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 1  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to  FIG. 1 . 
       FIG. 2  is a diagram illustrating an example  200  of a base station  110  in communication with a UE  120  in a wireless network  100 , in accordance with the present disclosure. Base station  110  may be equipped with T antennas  234   a  through  234   t , and UE  120  may be equipped with R antennas  252   a  through  252   r , where in general T≥1 and R≥1. 
     At base station  110 , a transmit processor  220  may receive data from a data source  212  for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor  220  may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor  220  may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor  230  may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs)  232   a  through  232   t . Each modulator  232  may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator  232  may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators  232   a  through  232   t  may be transmitted via T antennas  234   a  through  234   t , respectively. 
     At UE  120 , antennas  252   a  through  252   r  may receive the downlink signals from base station  110  and/or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs)  254   a  through  254   r , respectively. Each demodulator  254  may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator  254  may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector  256  may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators  254   a  through  254   r , perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor  258  may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE  120  to a data sink  260 , and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor  280 . The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a channel quality indicator (CQI) parameter, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more components of UE  120  may be included in a housing  284 . 
     Network controller  130  may include communication unit  294 , controller/processor  290 , and memory  292 . Network controller  130  may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. Network controller  130  may communicate with base station  110  via communication unit  294 . 
     Antennas (e.g., antennas  234   a  through  234   t  and/or antennas  252   a  through  252   r ) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, and/or antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include a set of coplanar antenna elements and/or a set of non-coplanar antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include antenna elements within a single housing and/or antenna elements within multiple housings. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of  FIG. 2 . 
     On the uplink, at UE  120 , a transmit processor  264  may receive and process data from a data source  262  and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from controller/processor  280 . Transmit processor  264  may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor  264  may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor  266  if applicable, further processed by modulators  254   a  through  254   r  (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station  110 . In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD/DEMOD  254 ) of the UE  120  may be included in a modem of the UE  120 . In some aspects, the UE  120  includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s)  252 , modulators and/or demodulators  254 , MIMO detector  256 , receive processor  258 , transmit processor  264 , and/or TX MIMO processor  266 . The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor  280 ) and memory  282  to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to  FIGS. 6A-6C . 
     At base station  110 , the uplink signals from UE  120  and other UEs may be received by antennas  234 , processed by demodulators  232 , detected by a MIMO detector  236  if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor  238  to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE  120 . Receive processor  238  may provide the decoded data to a data sink  239  and the decoded control information to controller/processor  240 . Base station  110  may include communication unit  244  and communicate to network controller  130  via communication unit  244 . Base station  110  may include a scheduler  246  to schedule UEs  120  for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD/DEMOD  232 ) of the base station  110  may be included in a modem of the base station  110 . In some aspects, the base station  110  includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s)  234 , modulators and/or demodulators  232 , MIMO detector  236 , receive processor  238 , transmit processor  220 , and/or TX MIMO processor  230 . The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor  240 ) and memory  242  to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to  FIGS. 6A-6C . 
     Controller/processor  240  of base station  110 , controller/processor  280  of UE  120 , and/or any other component(s) of  FIG. 2  may perform one or more techniques associated with configuring time gaps in SSBs, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, controller/processor  240  of base station  110 , controller/processor  280  of UE  120 , and/or any other component(s) of  FIG. 2  may perform or direct operations of, for example, process  700  of  FIG. 7 , process  800  of  FIG. 8 , and/or other processes as described herein. Memories  242  and  282  may store data and program codes for base station  110  and UE  120 , respectively. In some aspects, memory  242  and/or memory  282  may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the base station  110  and/or the UE  120 , may cause the one or more processors, the UE  120 , and/or the base station  110  to perform or direct operations of, for example, process  700  of  FIG. 7 , process  800  of  FIG. 8 , and/or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instructions, among other examples. 
     In some aspects, a UE (e.g., the UE  120  and/or apparatus  900  of  FIG. 9 ) may include means for receiving, from a base station (e.g., the base station  110  and/or apparatus  1000  of  FIG. 10 ) and using a first bandwidth, at least one synchronization signal associated with an SSB; and/or means for receiving, from the base station, using a second bandwidth, at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel and associated with the SSB. The at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel may be separated by a time gap. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of antenna  252 , demodulator  254 , MIMO detector  256 , receive processor  258 , transmit processor  264 , TX MIMO processor  266 , modulator  254 , controller/processor  280 , or memory  282 . 
     In some aspects, the UE may further include means for receiving, from the base station, at least one of a CORESET or a SIB message. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may include means for receiving, from the base station, using a first beam, at least one additional synchronization signal associated with an additional SSB; and/or means for receiving, from the base station, using the first beam, at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel and associated with the additional SSB. The at least one additional synchronization signal and the at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel may be separated by the time gap. Additionally, the SSB and the additional SSB may be separated by at least a beam switching gap, and the at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel may be received using a second beam. 
     In some aspects, the UE may include means for configuring at least one antenna of the UE to receive the second bandwidth during the time gap. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may include means for receiving, from the base station, using the second bandwidth and during the time gap, a retransmission of the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel. In some aspects, the UE may include means for receiving, from the base station, a message indicating a length of the time gap. 
     In some aspects, a base station (e.g., the base station  110  and/or apparatus  1000  of  FIG. 10 ) may include means for transmitting, using a first bandwidth, at least one synchronization signal associated with an SSB; and/or means for transmitting, using a second bandwidth, at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel and associated with the SSB. The at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel may be separated by a time gap. The means for the base station to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of transmit processor  220 , TX MIMO processor  230 , modulator  232 , antenna  234 , demodulator  232 , MIMO detector  236 , receive processor  238 , controller/processor  240 , memory  242 , or scheduler  246 . 
     In some aspects, the base station may further include means for transmitting at least one of a CORESET or an SIB message. Additionally, or alternatively, the base station may include means for transmitting, using a first beam, at least one additional synchronization signal associated with an additional SSB; and/or means for transmitting, using the first beam, at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel and associated with the additional SSB. The at least one additional synchronization signal and the at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel may be separated by the time gap. Additionally, the SSB and the additional SSB may be separated by at least a beam switching gap, and the at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel may be transmitted using a second beam. 
     In some aspects, the base station may include means for transmitting at least one of cyclic prefix signals or guard interval signals during the time gap; means for transmitting, during the time gap, one or more tail symbols encoded using a Fourier transform procedure; and/or means for transmitting, using the second bandwidth and during the time gap, a retransmission of the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel. In some aspects, the base station may include means for transmitting a message indicating a length of the time gap. 
     While blocks in  FIG. 2  are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor  264 , the receive processor  258 , and/or the TX MIMO processor  266  may be performed by or under the control of controller/processor  280 . 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 2  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to  FIG. 2 . 
       FIG. 3  is a diagram illustrating an example  300  of a synchronization signal block (SSB), in accordance with the present disclosure. Example  300  shows an SSB that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). 
     In example  300 , the SSB includes 4 symbols (e.g., OFDM symbols). As shown in  FIG. 3 , one symbol may include a primary synchronization signal (PSS). The PSS may include a frequency domain-based sequence (e.g., an M-sequency) of length  127 , which may be mapped to  127  subcarriers, as shown in  FIG. 3 . Another symbol may include a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). The SSS may include a frequency domain-based sequence (e.g., a Gold code sequency) of length  127 , which may be mapped to  127  subcarriers, as shown in  FIG. 3 . The remaining two symbols may include signals encoding content for a broadcast channel (e.g., a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in example  300 ). For example, the broadcast channel may carry a master information block (MIB) message (e.g., an MIB message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard). The broadcast channel may be modulated using quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and multiplexed with an associated DMRS. Additionally, the signals encoding content for the broadcast channel may also be multiplexed (e.g., in frequency as shown in  FIG. 3 ) with the SSS. 
     The UE  120  may use the SSB for initialization a connection with the base station  110 . For example, the UE  120  may apply a sliding window and attempt all possible sequences for the PSS in order to obtain timing information associated with the base station  110 . Accordingly, the UE  120  may proceed with decoding a system information block (SIB) message (e.g., an SIB1 message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard) from the base station  110  and use the information included in the SIB message to establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the base station  110 . 
     Additionally, or alternatively, the UE  120  may measure the SSB in order to update timing information associated with the base station  110  (e.g., such that the UE  120  can be paged by the base station  110  while in an idle mode or an inactive state) and/or to select one or more beams to use when communicating with the base station  110 . For example, the UE  120  may generate channel state information (CSI) reports for different beams associated with different SSBs based at least in part on measurements of those SSBs. Accordingly, the UE  120  and/or the base station  110  may select one or more beams based at least in part on the CSI reports. 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 3  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG. 3 . 
       FIG. 4A  is a diagram illustrating an example  400  of a control resource set (CORESET) that is time division multiplexed (TDM′d) with an SSB, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Example  400  shows an SSB  402   a  and a CORESET  404   a  that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). The CORESET  404   a  may include a CORESET0 as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard. Accordingly, the CORESET  404   a  may include resources for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that carries downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling transmission of an SIB message (e.g., an SIB1 message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard). As shown in  FIG. 4A , the SSB  402   a  and the CORESET  404   a  may be transmitted as a single block in the time domain. 
     As further shown in  FIG. 4A , the base station  110  may provide a beam switching gap  406   a  between the CORESET  404   a  and a different SSB  402   b , which may similarly be transmitted as a block with an associated CORESET  404   b . For example, the UE  120  may receive the SSB  402   a  and the CORESET  404   a  using one spatial filter, associated with a first beam, and then apply a different spatial filter, associated with a second beam, to one or more antennas of the UE  120  during the beam switching gap  406   a . Accordingly, the base station  110  transmits the SSB  402   a  and the CORESET  404   a  using the first beam and transmits the SSB  402   b  and the CORESET  404   b  using the second beam. Although described above using two beams, the description similarly applies to using more than two beams (e.g., three beams, four beams, and so on). For example, the beam switching gap  406   b  may precede yet another SSB, which may be associated with a third beam and transmitted as a block with an associated CORESET. 
       FIG. 4B  is a diagram illustrating an example  450  of a CORESET and an SIB message that is TDM&#39;d with an SSB, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Example  450  shows an SSB  402   a , a CORESET  404   a , and an SIB message  408   a  that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). The CORESET  404   a  may include a CORESET0 as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard, and the SIB message  408   a  may include an SIB1 message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard. As shown in  FIG. 4B , the SSB  402   a , the CORESET  404   a , and the SIB message  408   a  may be transmitted as a single block in the time domain. 
     As further shown in  FIG. 4B , the base station  110  may provide a beam switching gap  406   a  between the SIB message  408   a  and a different SSB  402   b , which may similarly be transmitted as a block with an associated CORESET  404   b  and an associated SIB message  408   b . For example, the UE  120  may receive the SSB  402   a , the CORESET  404   a , and the SIB message  408   a  using one spatial filter, associated with a first beam, and then apply a different spatial filter, associated with a second beam, to one or more antennas of the UE  120  during the beam switching gap  406   a . Accordingly, the base station  110  transmits the SSB  402   a , the CORESET  404   a , and the SIB message  408   a  using the first beam and transmits the SSB  402   b , the CORESET  404   b , and the SIB message  408   b  using the second beam. Although described above using two beams, the description similarly applies to using more than two beams (e.g., three beams, four beams, and so on). For example, the beam switching gap  406   b  may precede yet another SSB, which may be associated with a third beam and transmitted as a block with an associated CORESET and an associated SIB message. 
     As indicated above,  FIGS. 4A and 4B  are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIGS. 4A and 4B . 
       FIG. 5A  is a diagram illustrating an example  500  of a CORESET that is frequency division multiplexed (FDM′d) with an SSB, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example  500  shows an SSB  502   a  and a CORESET  504   a  that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). The CORESET  504   a  may include a CORESET0 as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard. Accordingly, the CORESET  504   a  may include resources for a PDCCH that carries DCI for scheduling transmission of an SIB message (e.g., an SIB1 message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard). As shown in  FIG. 5A , the SSB  502   a  and the CORESET  504   a  may be multiplexed in the frequency domain (e.g., mapped to different subcarriers and transmitted overlapping in time by the base station  110 ). 
     As further shown in  FIG. 5A , the base station  110  may provide a beam switching gap  506   a  between the SSB  502   a  and a different SSB  502   b , which may similarly be multiplexed in the frequency domain with an associated CORESET  504   b . For example, the UE  120  may receive the SSB  502   a  and the CORESET  504   a  using one spatial filter, associated with a first beam, and then apply a different spatial filter, associated with a second beam, to one or more antennas of the UE  120  during the beam switching gap  506   a . Accordingly, the base station  110  transmits the SSB  502   a  and the CORESET  504   a  using the first beam and transmits the SSB  502   b  and the CORESET  504   b  using the second beam. Although described above using two beams, the description similarly applies to using more than two beams (e.g., three beams, four beams, and so on). For example, the beam switching gap  506   b  may precede yet another SSB, which may be associated with a third beam and transmitted as a block with an associated CORESET. 
       FIG. 5B  is a diagram illustrating an example  550  of a CORESET and an SIB message that is FDM′d with an SSB, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example  550  shows an SSB  502   a , a CORESET  504   a , and an SIB message  508   a  that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). The CORESET  504   a  may include a CORESET0 as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard, and the SIB message  508   a  may include an SIB1 message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard. As shown in  FIG. 5B , the SSB  502   a , the CORESET  504   a , and the SIB message  508   a  may be multiplexed in the frequency domain (e.g., mapped to different subcarriers and transmitted overlapping in time by the base station  110 ). 
     As further shown in  FIG. 5B , the base station  110  may provide a beam switching gap  506   a  between the SSB  502   a  and a different SSB  402   b , which may similarly be multiplexed in the frequency domain with an associated CORESET  504   b  and an associated SIB message  508   b . For example, the UE  120  may receive the SSB  502   a , the CORESET  504   a , and the SIB message  508   a  using one spatial filter, associated with a first beam, and then apply a different spatial filter, associated with a second beam, to one or more antennas of the UE  120  during the beam switching gap  506   a . Accordingly, the base station  110  transmits the SSB  502   a , the CORESET  504   a , and the SIB message  508   a  using the first beam and transmits the SSB  502   b , the CORESET  504   b , and the SIB message  508   b  using the second beam. Although described above using two beams, the description similarly applies to using more than two beams (e.g., three beams, four beams, and so on). For example, the beam switching gap  506   b  may precede yet another SSB, which may be associated with a third beam and transmitted as a block with an associated CORESET and an associated SIB message. 
     As indicated above,  FIGS. 5A and 5B  are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIGS. 5A and 5B . 
     In some situations, a base station may use single-carrier waveforms (e.g., DFT-s-OFDM, single-carrier quadrature amplitude modulation (SC-QAM), and/or another single-carrier technology) to transmit (e.g., to one or more UEs). For example, the base station may use single-carrier waveforms in order to reduce peak-to-average power ratio (PARP) in higher operating bands (e.g., FR2 or higher bandwidths). Generally, single-carrier waveforms can be used to transmit more information in a period of time as compared with carrier aggregation techniques. However, the single-carrier waveforms usually allow for less multiplexing in the frequency domain. Accordingly, when transmitting an SSB, the base station may separate, in the time domain, signals encoding content for a broadcast channel (e.g., a PBCH) from associated DMRSs. Additionally, or alternatively, the base station may separate an SSS, in the time domain, from signals encoding content for the broadcast channel. 
     Some techniques and apparatuses described herein enable a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) to include a time gap between synchronization signals (e.g., a PSS and/or an SSS) of an SSB and signals associated with a broadcast channel (e.g., signals encoding content for a PBCH and/or associated DMRSs) of that SSB. As a result, the base station  110  may transmit the synchronization signals using a different bandwidth than a bandwidth used to transmit the signals associated with the broadcast channel. For example, the base station  110  may use a smaller bandwidth for the synchronization signals in order to conserve power and network overhead but may use a larger bandwidth for the signals associated with the broadcast channel in order to improve reliability and/or quality of those signals. Additionally, a UE (e.g., UE  120 ) receiving the SSB may switch bandwidths during the time gap provided by the base station  110 . Accordingly, the UE  120  may conserve power while receiving the synchronization signals but improve reliability and/or quality when receiving the signals associated with the broadcast channel. 
       FIG. 6A  is a diagram illustrating an example  600  associated with configuring time gaps in SSBs, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example  600  shows an SSB  602   a  that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). In some aspects, the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, at least one synchronization signal using a first bandwidth. For example, the at least one synchronization signal may include a PSS (e.g., PSS  604   a ), an SSS (e.g., SSS  606   a ), or a combination thereof (e.g., as shown in example  600 ). 
     Additionally, the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel using a second bandwidth. The base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel, after a time gap  608   a  following the at least one synchronization signal. In some aspects, the broadcast channel may include a PBCH. Accordingly, the at least one signal may include a DMRS (e.g., DMRS  610   a ), a signal encoding content for the PBCH (e.g., signal  612   a ), or a combination thereof (e.g., as shown in example  600 ). 
     The time gap  608   a  may include one or more symbols (e.g., one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols, one or more SC-QAM symbols) during which the base station  110  does not transmit signals associated with the SSB  602   a . Accordingly, the UE  120  may configure at least one antenna of the UE  120  to receive the second bandwidth during the time gap  608   a . For example, the UE  120  may adjust a gain, a receive power, a demodulation setting, and/or another physical property and/or software setting associated with the at least one antenna in order to receive using the second bandwidth. In some aspects, as shown in  FIG. 6A , the first bandwidth may be smaller than the second bandwidth such that the UE  120  conserves power when receiving the at least one synchronization signal. Additionally, the UE  120  may adjust the at least one antenna before receiving the at least one synchronization signal in order to better filter noise and improve reliability and/or quality. Accordingly, the UE  120  may use the time gap  608   a  in order to re-adjust the at least one antenna for receiving the second, larger bandwidth. 
     In some aspects, a length of the time gap  608   a  may be based at least in part on a setting stored in a memory of the UE  120  and/or a memory of the base station  110 . For example, the UE  120  and/or the base station  110  may be programmed (and/or otherwise preconfigured) with the length according to 3GPP specifications and/or another standard. As an alternative, a length of the time gap  608   a  may be determined based at least in part on the at least one synchronization signal. For example, the base station  110  may select a sequence for the PSS  604   a  and/or a sequence for the SSS  606   a  such that the UE  120  may determine the length of the time gap  608   a  based at least in part on the sequence(s) selected. Accordingly, the UE  120  and/or the base station  110  may be programmed (and/or otherwise preconfigured) with a mapping of different sequences (or combinations of sequences) to different lengths (e.g., according to 3GPP specifications and/or another standard). As another alternative, the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, a message indicating a length of the time gap  608   a . For example, the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, an RRC message, a medium access control (MAC) layer control element (MAC-CE), DCI, and/or another message that indicates the length. The base station  110  may transmit such a message when the UE  120  is using the SSB  602   a  for purposes other than initial connection with the base station  110  (e.g., as described above in connection with  FIG. 3 ) 
     In some aspects, example  600  may be combined with example  400  or example  450 . For example, the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, at least one of a CORESET (e.g., a CORESET0 as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard) or an SIB message (e.g., an SIB1 message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard) after receiving the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  610   a  and/or signal  612   a ). As an alternative, example  600  may be combined with example  500  or example  550 . For example, the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, at least one of a co CORESET (e.g., a CORESET0 as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard) or an SIB message (e.g., an SIB1 message as defined in 3GPP specifications and/or another standard) multiplexed with the at least one synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  604   a  and/or SSS  606   a ) and/or the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  610   a  and/or signal  612   a ) in frequency. The base station  110  may perform such multiplexing when using DFT-s-OFDM technology and/or another single-carrier technology that permits frequency multiplexing. 
     Although described above with the at least one synchronization signal preceding the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel, the SSB  602   a  may carry the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel earlier in time than the at least one synchronization signal (e.g., as described below in connection with  FIG. 6B ). 
     Example  600  further shows another SSB  602   b . For example, the SSB  602   b  may be associated with a first beam, and the SSB  602   a  may be associated with a second beam. Accordingly, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using a first corresponding spatial filter, the SSB  602   b , after the base station  110  transmits using the second beam, and the UE  120  receives using a second corresponding spatial filter, the SSB  602   a . For example, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using the first corresponding spatial filter, at least one additional synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  604   b , SSS  606   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  600 ) after a beam switching gap  614   a  following reception of the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  610   a  and/or signal  612   a ). The beam switching gap  614   a  may include one or more symbols (e.g., one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols, one or more SC-QAM symbols) during which the base station  110  does not transmit signals associated with the SSB  602   a  or the SSB  602   b.    
     Accordingly, the UE  120  may apply the first spatial filter during the beam switching gap  614   a . Similar to the time gap  608   a  described above, the beam switch gap  614   a  may have a length based at least in part on a setting stored in a memory of the UE  120  and/or a memory of the base station  110 , based at least in part on the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  610   a  and/or signal  612   a ), and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110 . Similarly, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using the first corresponding spatial filter, at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  610   b , signal  612   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  600 ) after the time gap  608   b  following reception of the at least one additional synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  604   b , SSS  606   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  600 ). The time gap  608   b  may be the same length as the time gap  608   a  or may be based at least in part on the at least one additional synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  604   b  and/or SSS  606   b ) and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110  indicating a different length for the time gap  608   b  than for the time gap  608   a.    
     Although described above using two beams, the description similarly applies to using more than two beams (e.g., three beams, four beams, and so on). For example, the beam switching gap  614   b  may precede yet another SSB, which may be associated with a third beam and include one or more synchronization signals and one or more signals associated with a broadcast channel, separated by a time gap. 
       FIG. 6B  is a diagram illustrating an example  620  associated with configuring time gaps in SSBs, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example  620  shows an SSB  622   a  that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). Similar to SSB  602   a  of example  600 , SSB  622   a  of example  620  includes at least one synchronization signal in a first bandwidth. For example, the at least one synchronization signal may include a PSS (e.g., PSS  624   a ), an SSS (e.g., SSS  626   a ), or a combination thereof (e.g., as shown in example  620 ). Additionally, the SSB  622   a  includes at least one signal, associated with a broadcast channel, in a second bandwidth. The base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, the at least one synchronization signal, after a time gap  634   a  following the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel. In some aspects, the broadcast channel may include a PBCH. Accordingly, the at least one signal may include a DMRS (e.g., DMRS  630   a ), a signal encoding content for the PBCH (e.g., signal  632   a ), or a combination thereof (e.g., as shown in example  620 ). 
     Similar to the time gap  608   a  as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A , the time gap  634   a  may have a length based at least in part on a setting stored in a memory of the UE  120  and/or a memory of the base station  110 , based at least in part on the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  630   a  and/or signal  632   a ), and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110 . 
     The time gap  634   a  may include cyclic prefix (CP) signals and/or guard interval (GI) signals transmitted by the base station  110 . Additionally, or alternatively, the time gap  634   b  may include one or more tail symbols, encoded using a Fourier transform procedure, transmitted by the base station  110 . For example, the base station  110  may add zeroes (and/or other null data) before a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and/or another similar Fourier transform procedure. Accordingly, after subcarrier mapping, inverse fast Fourier transforming (IFFT), and/or other modulation and coding procedures, the base station  110  will have generated a signal that includes tail symbols based at least in part on the null data. The base station  110  may transmit such tail symbols when using DFT-s-OFDM technology and/or another single-carrier technology that uses Fourier transformation. Accordingly, during the time gap  634   a , the base station  110  does not transmit signals used to decode the SSB  602   a , and the UE  120  may configure at least one antenna of the UE  120  to receive the second bandwidth during the time gap  634   a , as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A . In example  620 , the bases station  110  has included CP signals, GI signals, and/or tail symbols on signal  632   a  but may alternatively include CP signals, GI signals, and/or tail symbols on DMRS  630   a , PSS  624   a , and/or SSS  626   a.    
     In some aspects, example  620  may be combined with example  400  or example  450 , similar to the combination of example  600  with example  400  or example  450 , as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A . As an alternative, example  620  may be combined with example  500  or example  550 , similar to the combination of example  600  with example  500  or example  550 , as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A . 
     Although described above with the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel preceding the at least one synchronization signal, the SSB  622   a  may carry the at least one synchronization signal earlier in time than the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A ). 
     Example  620  further shows another SSB  622   b . For example, the SSB  622   b  may be associated with a first beam, and the SSB  622   a  may be associated with a second beam. Accordingly, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using a first corresponding spatial filter, the SSB  622   b , after the base station  110  transmits using the second beam, and the UE  120  receives using a second corresponding spatial filter, the SSB  622   a . For example, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using the first corresponding spatial filter, at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  630   b , signal  632   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  620 ) after a beam switching gap  628   a  following reception of the at least one synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  624   a  and/or SSS  626   a ). The beam switching gap  628   a  may include one or more symbols (e.g., one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols, one or more SC-QAM symbols) during which the base station  110  does not transmit signals associated with the SSB  622   a  or the SSB  622   b.    
     Accordingly, the UE  120  may apply the first spatial filter during the beam switching gap  628   a . Similar to the time gap  634   a  described above, the beam switch gap  628   a  may have a length based at least in part on a setting stored in a memory of the UE  120  and/or a memory of the base station  110 , based at least in part on the at least one synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  624   a  and/or SSS  626   a ), and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110 . Similarly, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using the first corresponding spatial filter, at least one additional synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  624   b , SSS  626   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  620 ) after the time gap  634   b  following reception of the at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  630   b , signal  632   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  620 ). The time gap  634   b  may be the same length as the time gap  634   a  or may be based at least in part on the at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  630   b  and/or signal  632   b ) and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110  indicating a different length for the time gap  634   b  than for the time gap  634   a.    
     Although described above using two beams, the description similarly applies to using more than two beams (e.g., three beams, four beams, and so on). For example, the beam switching gap  628   b  may precede yet another SSB, which may be associated with a third beam and include one or more synchronization signals and one or more signals associated with a broadcast channel, separated by a time gap. 
       FIG. 6C  is a diagram illustrating an example  640  associated with configuring time gaps in SSBs, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example  640  shows an SSB  642   a  that may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., base station  110 ) and received by a UE (e.g., UE  120 ). Similar to SSB  602   a  of example  600 , SSB  642   a  of example  640  includes at least one synchronization signal in a first bandwidth. For example, the at least one synchronization signal may include a PSS (e.g., PSS  644   a ), an SSS (e.g., SSS  646   a ), or a combination thereof (e.g., as shown in example  640 ). Additionally, the SSB  642   a  includes at least one signal, associated with a broadcast channel, in a second bandwidth. The base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel, after a time gap  648   a  following the at least one synchronization signal. In some aspects, the broadcast channel may include a PBCH. Accordingly, the at least one signal may include a DMRS (e.g., DMRS  650   a ), a signal encoding content for the PBCH (e.g., signal  652   a ), or a combination thereof (e.g., as shown in example  640 ). 
     Similar to the time gap  608   a  as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A , the time gap  648   a  may have a length based at least in part on a setting stored in a memory of the UE  120  and/or a memory of the base station  110 , based at least in part on the at least one synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  644   a  and/or SSS  646   a ), and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 6C , the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, using the second bandwidth and during the time gap  648   a , a retransmission of the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel. For example, the base station  110  may retransmit the DMRS (e.g., DMRS  650   a ), the signal encoding content for the PBCH (e.g., signal  652   a , as shown in example  640 ), or a combination thereof. Accordingly, a different UE may decode the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel based at least in part on receiving the at least one signal and receiving the retransmission. For example, a different UE may have multiple activate antenna panels such that this other UE can receive on the first bandwidth and on the second bandwidth without needing to reconfigure antennas. Accordingly, the base station  110  can retransmit such that the base station  110  and this other UE experience improved reliability and/or quality when communicating the SSB  642   a . However, during the time gap  648   a , the base station  110  does not transmit signals that are necessary to decode the SSB  642   a , such that the UE  120 , lacking capability to simultaneously receive on the first bandwidth and on the second bandwidth, may configure at least one antenna of the UE  120  to receive the second bandwidth during the time gap  648   a , as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A . Accordingly, the UE  120  may conserve power while receiving the at least one synchronization signal but improve reliability and/or quality when receiving the at least one associated with the broadcast channel. 
     In some aspects, example  640  may be combined with example  400  or example  450 , similar to the combination of example  600  with example  400  or example  450 , as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A . As an alternative, example  640  may be combined with example  500  or example  550 , similar to the combination of example  600  with example  500  or example  550 , as described above in connection with  FIG. 6A . 
     Although described above with the at least one synchronization signal preceding the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel, the SSB  642   a  may carry the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel earlier in time than the at least one synchronization signal (e.g., as described above in connection with  FIG. 6B ). 
     Example  640  further shows another SSB  642   b . For example, the SSB  642   b  may be associated with a first beam, and the SSB  642   a  may be associated with a second beam. Accordingly, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using a first corresponding spatial filter, the SSB  642   b , after the base station  110  transmits using the second beam, and the UE  120  receives using a second corresponding spatial filter, the SSB  642   a . For example, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using the first corresponding spatial filter, at least one additional synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  644   b , SSS  646   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  640 ) after a beam switching gap  654   a  following reception of the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  650   a  and/or signal  652   a ). The beam switching gap  654   a  may include one or more symbols (e.g., one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols, one or more SC-QAM symbols) during which the base station  110  does not transmit signals associated with the SSB  642   a  or the SSB  642   b.    
     Accordingly, the UE  120  may apply the first spatial filter during the beam switching gap  654   a . Similar to the time gap  648   a  described above, the beam switch gap  614   a  may have a length based at least in part on a setting stored in a memory of the UE  120  and/or a memory of the base station  110 , based at least in part on the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  650   a  and/or signal  652   a ), and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110 . Similarly, the base station  110  may transmit using the first beam, and the UE  120  may receive using the first corresponding spatial filter, at least one additional signal associated with the broadcast channel (e.g., DMRS  650   b , signal  652   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  640 ) after the time gap  648   b  following reception of the at least one additional synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  644   b , SSS  646   b , or a combination thereof, as shown in example  640 ). The time gap  648   b  may be the same length as the time gap  648   a  or may be based at least in part on the at least one additional synchronization signal (e.g., PSS  644   b  and/or SSS  646   b ) and/or based at least in part on a message from the base station  110  indicating a different length for the time gap  648   b  than for the time gap  648   a.    
     Although described above using two beams, the description similarly applies to using more than two beams (e.g., three beams, four beams, and so on). For example, the beam switching gap  654   b  may precede yet another SSB, which may be associated with a third beam and include one or more synchronization signals and one or more signals associated with a broadcast channel, separated by a time gap. 
     By using techniques as described in connection with  FIGS. 6A, 6B , and/or  6 C, the base station  110  may include a time gap between at least one synchronization signal (e.g., a PSS and/or an SSS) of an SSB and at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel (e.g., signals encoding content for a PBCH and/or associated DMRSs) of that SSB. As a result, the base station  110  may transmit the at least one synchronization signal using a first bandwidth and transmit the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel using a second bandwidth. For example, the first bandwidth may be smaller in order to conserve power and network overhead while the second bandwidth may be larger in order to improve reliability and/or quality of the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel Additionally, the UE  120  may switch bandwidths during the time gap provided by the base station  110 . Accordingly, the UE  120  may conserve power while receiving the at least one synchronization signal but improve reliability and/or quality when receiving the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel. 
     As indicated above,  FIGS. 6A-6C  are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIGS. 6A-6C . 
       FIG. 7  is a diagram illustrating an example process  700  performed, for example, by a UE, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process  700  is an example where the UE (e.g., UE  120  and/or apparatus  900  of  FIG. 9 ) performs operations associated with configuring time gaps in SSBs. 
     As shown in  FIG. 7 , in some aspects, process  700  may include receiving, from a base station (e.g., base station  110  and/or apparatus  1000  of  FIG. 10 ) and using a first bandwidth, at least one synchronization signal associated with an SSB (block  710 ). For example, the UE (e.g., using reception component  902 , depicted in  FIG. 9 ) may receive, using the first bandwidth, the at least one synchronization signal, as described above. 
     As further shown in  FIG. 7 , in some aspects, process  700  may include receiving, from the base station, using a second bandwidth, at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel and associated with the SSB (block  720 ). For example, the UE (e.g., using reception component  902 ) may receive, using the second bandwidth, the at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel, as described above. In some aspects, the at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel are separated by a time gap.

     In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through sixth aspects, process  700  further includes configuring (e.g., using configuration component  908 , depicted in  FIG. 9 ) at least one antenna of the UE to receive the second bandwidth during the time gap. 
     In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through seventh aspects, the time gap includes one or more symbols.

     In a twelfth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through eleventh aspects, a length of the time gap is based at least in part on a setting stored in the memory of the UE. 
     In a thirteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through twelfth aspects, a length of the time gap is determined based at least in part on the at least one synchronization signal. 
     In a fourteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through thirteenth aspects, process  700  further includes receiving (e.g., using reception component  902 ), from the base station, a message indicating a length of the time gap. 
     Although  FIG. 7  shows example blocks of process  700 , in some aspects, process  700  may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in  FIG. 7 . Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of process  700  may be performed in parallel. 
       FIG. 8  is a diagram illustrating an example process  800  performed, for example, by a base station, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process  800  is an example where the base station (e.g., base station  110  and/or apparatus  1000 ) performs operations associated with configuring time gaps in SSBs. 
     As shown in  FIG. 8 , in some aspects, process  800  may include transmitting, using a first bandwidth, at least one synchronization signal associated with an SSB (block  810 ). For example, the base station (e.g., using transmission component  1004 , depicted in  FIG. 10 ) may transmit, using the first bandwidth, the at least one synchronization signal, as described above. 
     As further shown in  FIG. 8 , in some aspects, process  800  may include transmitting, using a second bandwidth, at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel and associated with the SSB (block  820 ). For example, the base station (e.g., using transmission component  1004 ) may transmit, using the second bandwidth, the at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel, as described above. In some aspects, the at least one synchronization signal and the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel are separated by a time gap.

     In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through sixth aspects, the time gap includes one or more symbols. 
     In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through seventh aspects, process  800  further includes transmitting (e.g., using transmission component  1004 ) at least one of cyclic prefix signals or guard interval signals during the time gap. 
     In a ninth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through eighth aspects, process  800  further includes transmitting (e.g., using transmission component  1004 ), during the time gap, one or more tail symbols encoded using a Fourier transform procedure. 
     In a tenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through ninth aspects, process  800  further includes transmitting (e.g., using transmission component  1004 ), using the second bandwidth and during the time gap, a retransmission of the at least one signal associated with the broadcast channel.

     In a thirteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through twelfth aspects, process  800  further includes transmitting (e.g., using transmission component  1004 ) a message indicating a length of the time gap. 
     Although  FIG. 8  shows example blocks of process  800 , in some aspects, process  800  may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in  FIG. 8 . Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of process  800  may be performed in parallel. 
       FIG. 9  is a block diagram of an example apparatus  900  for wireless communication. The apparatus  900  may be a UE, or a UE may include the apparatus  900 . In some aspects, the apparatus  900  includes a reception component  902  and a transmission component  904 , which may be in communication with one another (for example, via one or more buses and/or one or more other components). As shown, the apparatus  900  may communicate with another apparatus  906  (such as a UE, a base station, or another wireless communication device) using the reception component  902  and the transmission component  904 . As further shown, the apparatus  900  may include a configuration component  908 , among other examples. 
     In some aspects, the apparatus  900  may be configured to perform one or more operations described herein in connection with  FIGS. 6A-6C . Additionally, or alternatively, the apparatus  900  may be configured to perform one or more processes described herein, such as process  700  of  FIG. 7 , or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the apparatus  900  and/or one or more components shown in  FIG. 9  may include one or more components of the UE described above in connection with  FIG. 2 . Additionally, or alternatively, one or more components shown in  FIG. 9  may be implemented within one or more components described above in connection with  FIG. 2 . Additionally, or alternatively, one or more components of the set of components may be implemented at least in part as software stored in a memory. For example, a component (or a portion of a component) may be implemented as instructions or code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by a controller or a processor to perform the functions or operations of the component. 
     The reception component  902  may receive communications, such as reference signals, control information, data communications, or a combination thereof, from the apparatus  906 . The reception component  902  may provide received communications to one or more other components of the apparatus  900 . In some aspects, the reception component  902  may perform signal processing on the received communications (such as filtering, amplification, demodulation, analog-to-digital conversion, demultiplexing, deinterleaving, de-mapping, equalization, interference cancellation, or decoding, among other examples), and may provide the processed signals to the one or more other components of the apparatus  906 . In some aspects, the reception component  902  may include one or more antennas, a demodulator, a MIMO detector, a receive processor, a controller/processor, a memory, or a combination thereof, of the UE described above in connection with  FIG. 2 . 
     The transmission component  904  may transmit communications, such as reference signals, control information, data communications, or a combination thereof, to the apparatus  906 . In some aspects, one or more other components of the apparatus  906  may generate communications and may provide the generated communications to the transmission component  904  for transmission to the apparatus  906 . In some aspects, the transmission component  904  may perform signal processing on the generated communications (such as filtering, amplification, modulation, digital-to-analog conversion, multiplexing, interleaving, mapping, or encoding, among other examples), and may transmit the processed signals to the apparatus  906 . In some aspects, the transmission component  904  may include one or more antennas, a modulator, a transmit MIMO processor, a transmit processor, a controller/processor, a memory, or a combination thereof, of the UE described above in connection with  FIG. 2 . In some aspects, the transmission component  904  may be co-located with the reception component  902  in a transceiver. 
     In some aspects, the reception component  902  may receive, from the apparatus  906  and using a first bandwidth, at least one synchronization signal associated with an SSB. Additionally, the reception component  902  may receive, from the apparatus  906 , using a second bandwidth, at least one signal associated with a broadcast channel and associated with the SSB.
