In accordance with an embodiment, the DSP 206 may be further configured to decode the physical cell identity (PCI) of the first beam of RF signals that has the highest received signal strength and a set of other beams of RF signals that has the received signal strength greater than a threshold signal strength value. For example, PCI for a defined number of sorted beams (e.g., first “M” number of beams that has high RSSI measurements) that has suitable RSSI, may be decoded. The DSP 206 may be further configured to store the decoded PCIs of the beam of RF signals that has the highest received signal strength and the set of other beams of RF signals that has the received signal strength greater than the threshold signal strength value, in the memory 208.
