1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a transceiver;
at least one memory comprising instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the UE to:
select, while operating using a first beam corresponding to a cell, a second beam corresponding to the cell based at least in part on a set of beam information associated with the second beam, wherein a first narrowband is associated with the first beam and a second narrowband is associated with the second beam;
communicate with a wireless communication device that provides the cell using the second beam;
receive, via the transceiver, a first master information block (MIB) associated with the first beam, wherein the first MIB is carried using a first frequency; and
receive, via the transceiver, a second MIB associated with the second beam,
wherein the second MIB is carried using a second frequency that matches the first frequency.
