1. A method, at a network entity, comprising:
configuring a synchronization signal block (SSB) using SSB resources that convey a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) within an SSB resource area of a time-frequency resource grid bounded in time by a first configured integer number of time units and bounded in frequency by a second configured integer number of physical channels, wherein:
a product of the first configured integer number and the second configured integer number is a predetermined constant value,
each symbol of the SSB has an equal number of resource elements (REs), and
all REs in the each symbol of the SSB, except REs within a first frequency guard band between any two of the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH in the each symbol of the SSB, have non-zero values; and
transmitting the SSB in the SSB resources as a beamformed SSB.
