1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processing system that includes processor circuitry and memory circuitry that stores code, the processing system configured to cause the UE to:
measure a signal strength for each beam of a plurality of beams;
select, from the plurality of beams, a set of two or more beams each having a respective signal strength satisfying a threshold;
attempt to decode a first broadcast channel signal of a first beam of the set of two or more beams in a single broadcast channel period; and
decode, after failing to decode the first broadcast channel signal of the first beam and based at least in part on a second broadcast channel signal being received temporally after the first broadcast channel signal, the second broadcast channel signal of a second beam of the set of two or more beams in the single broadcast channel period.
