Apparatuses and methods for spatial setting determination based on synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block receptions. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes receiving first information for a first set of indexes for synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks, a first SS/PBCH block corresponding to a first index from the first set of indexes, second information for a second set of indexes for SS/PBCH blocks, and a second SS/PBCH block corresponding to a second index from the second set of indexes. The method further includes determining a physical cell identity (PCI) of a serving cell based on the first SS/PBCH block and a path-loss based on the second SS/PBCH block. The first SS/PBCH block and the second SS/PBCH block have a same transmission power.
