Abstract
The present application relates to acquiring system information. In an example, a network can transmit instances of a same system information on multiple SSB beams. A UE can select a set of the SSB beams for system information acquisition. Soft decoding information, such as LLR, from the decoding of the instances received on the selected SSB beams is combined to decode and acquire the system information.
