1. A network node configured to communicate with a plurality of customer premises equipment, CPE, the network node comprising:
processing circuitry configured to determine a set of beam weights for each CPE of the plurality of CPE, each set of beam weights being associated with a synchronization signal block, SSB, index, each SSB index being associated with a window of time for communication between the network node and CPE associated with a beam ID; and
a communication interface in communication with the processing circuitry, the communication interface configured to transmit the SSB index to CPE associated with the beam ID to indicate to the CPE the window of time for communication between the network node and the CPE.
