Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may identify a synchronization signal (SS) block index associated with a SS block; scramble a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), associated with the SS block, based at least in part on the SS block index; and transmit the SS block including a tertiary synchronization signal (TSS) and the PBCH, wherein the TSS includes information that identifies the SS block index associated with the SS block, and wherein the TSS is frequency division multiplexed with the PBCH in two or more orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols of the SS block. Numerous other aspects are provided.
