1. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
transmitting a plurality of beams to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU);
transmitting, using a beam of the plurality of beams, periodically transmitted broadcast information, the periodically transmitted broadcast information including a first information block and a second information block;
receiving, responsive to information in the transmitted second information block, a random access preamble;
after the reception of the random access preamble, transmitting a random access response;
receiving, responsive to information in the transmitted random access response, a message including control information indicating additional information blocks that the WTRU is requesting to receive; and
after the reception of the received message, transmitting the additional information blocks to the WTRU.
