1. A method, comprising:
determining a Synchronization Single Block (SSB) index for an SSB based on a Physical Broadcast Channel-Demodulation Reference Signal (PBCH-DMRS);
determining a shift value for the SSB index based on a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) payload;
determining a frame timing for the SSB based on the SSB index and the shift value for the SSB index; and
causing to receive the SSB from a base station based on the frame timing for the SSB.
