1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
monitoring communication resources for synchronization signal block transmissions; and
receiving, based at least in part on the monitoring, a synchronization signal block that comprises a first portion generated in accordance with a first waveform type, a second portion generated in accordance with a second waveform type that is different than the first waveform type, and a third portion generated in accordance with a third waveform type that is different from the first waveform type and the second waveform type, wherein the first portion comprises a primary synchronization signal, the second portion comprises a secondary synchronization signal, and the third portion comprises a physical broadcast channel, and wherein receiving the synchronization signal block comprises:
detecting, based at least in part on the monitoring, the first portion of the synchronization signal block based at least in part on the first waveform type; and
processing, based at least in part on the detecting, the second portion of the synchronization signal block in accordance with the second waveform type based at least in part on information obtained from the first portion.
