1. A base station comprising:
a wireless transceiver and an antenna;
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:
transmit first system information comprising a first synchronization signal (SS) block position parameter associated with a first frequency resource, wherein the first SS block position parameter comprises:
a first bitmap indicating a plurality of groups in which at least one SS block is transmitted, wherein based on the first frequency resource satisfying a threshold frequency, the first SS block position parameter comprises the first bitmap, and wherein each group of the plurality of groups comprises first SS blocks; and
a second bitmap indicating at least one first position, wherein each of the at least one first position corresponds to a respective SS block of at least one first transmission SS block among the first SS blocks of a respective group of the plurality of groups, and wherein a size of the first bitmap is equal to a size of the second bitmap;
transmit, based on the at least one first position, the at least one first transmission SS block;
transmit second system information comprising a second SS block position parameter associated with a second frequency resource, wherein the second SS block position parameter comprises:
a third bitmap indicating at least one second position, wherein the second frequency resource does not satisfy the threshold frequency, and wherein each of the at least one second position corresponds to a respective SS block of at least one second transmission SS block among second SS blocks; and
transmit, based on the at least one second position, the at least one second transmission SS block.
