1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and operable to cause the UE to:
detect, at the UE, a first synchronization signal block (SSB);
determine whether a subcarrier offset value indicated by the first SSB is within a first range or a second range, wherein the first range is [24, 30] for frequency range 1 (FR1) or [12, 14] for frequency range 2 (FR2), and the second range is [0, 23] for FR1 or [0, 13] for FR2;
determine whether the first SSB has a valid access configuration for the UE based on an indication in system information of the first SSB, wherein the indication indicates whether access configuration information included in the SSB is for reduced capability UEs;
in response to the subcarrier offset value being within the first range and the indication indicating that the first SSB does not have the valid access configuration for the UE, detect a second SSB based on a global synchronization channel number (GSCN) of the first SSB and a first GSCN offset relative to the first SSB, wherein:
the first GSCN offset is determined based on a second GSCN offset and an additional GSCN offset,
the second GSCN offset is based on the subcarrier offset value and control resource set configuration information and search space configuration information in the system information of the first SSB,
the additional GSCN offset has a predefined value, and
a frequency position of the second SSB maps to a non-center resource element (RE) of the second SSB; and
determine the valid access configuration for the UE from the second SSB.
