1. An apparatus comprising:
memory to store configuration information related to a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) that have a common cell identifier and that are to be frequency division multiplexed (FDMed) over a common set of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, wherein the configuration information includes:
an indication that at least a portion of a first SSB of the plurality of SSBs is to be transmitted by a first antenna of a gNodeB (gNB) on a first frequency resource of an OFDM symbol of the common set of OFDM symbols; and
an indication that at least a portion of a second SSB of the plurality of SSBs is to be transmitted by a second antenna of the gNB on a second frequency resource of the OFDM symbol; and
processor circuitry coupled with the memory, the processor circuitry to encode a message for transmission to a user equipment (UE) that includes the configuration information.
