Abstract
A wireless communication device may include a reference signal detector configured to detect a first synchronization block in a received signal and to determine a position of the synchronization block within a pattern of synchronization blocks, a controller configured to identify, based on the position, one or more additional synchronization blocks including payloads that are related to a payload of the first synchronization block, a combiner configured to combine the payload of the first synchronization block with the payloads of the one or more additional synchronization blocks to obtain a combined payload, and a decoder configured to decode the combined payload to obtain payload data.
