1. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block, and
a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
decode content of a PBCH in the SS/PBCH block;
determine whether the wireless communication system operates with shared spectrum channel access based on a first portion of the content of the PBCH;
determine a second portion of the content of the PBCH in a first manner, if the wireless communication system operates with shared spectrum channel access; and
determine the second portion of the content of the PBCH in a second manner, if the wireless communication system operates without shared spectrum channel access.
