1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a mapping between a set of synchronization signal block resources and a set of operating frequencies within a frequency band, the mapping corresponding to a set of synchronization signal block indices;
identifying an operating frequency of the set of operating frequencies and a direction of a beam for conveying a synchronization signal block;
identifying a synchronization signal block index of the set of synchronization signal block indices corresponding to the identified operating frequency and the direction of the beam for conveying the synchronization signal block; and
monitoring for the synchronization signal block in accordance with the identified synchronization signal block index.
