Thereafter, the DSP 206 may be further configured to execute the PSS search from each SSB location of the plurality of SSB locations based on the acquired control information. The DSP 206 may be further configured to detect a PSS for at least one SSB location based on the executed PSS search. The DSP 206 may be further configured to align a timing offset of the beam reception to a frame structure of a 5G NR radio frame based on the detected PSS for the at least one SSB location (e.g., a 5G NR carrier frequency). The detected PSS indicates a timing boundary of the 5G NR radio frame, and thus having the detected PSS can also align a 5G-ready device, such as the repeater device 302 for relay or its timing boundary with the frame structure of the 5G NR radio frame. The DSP 206 may be further configured to measure RSSI for each beam of the plurality of different beams of RF signals for each SSB location of the plurality of SSB locations in accordance with PSS timing after the PSS is detected.
