9. A method performed by a wireless user device, the method comprising:
receiving, based on an initialization value associated with a reference signal for a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) and based on a frequency domain shift value, the reference signal via at least one resource, wherein the initialization value is associated with a synchronization signal (SS) block index and is based on an index associated with a time interval, and wherein the reference signal is mapped, based on the frequency domain shift value, to the at least one resource; and
receiving the PBCH.
