This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for PDSCH rate-matching in NTN systems. A UE may receive an indication of a subset of one or more SSB beams included in a set of SSB beams having one or more PDCCH resources reserved for potentially scheduling one or more SIBs associated with the set of SSB beams. The UE may further receive a PDSCH associated with resources that overlap with at least a portion of the one or more PDCCH resources associated with the indication of the subset of one or more SSB beams, and rate-match around the one or more PDCCH resources associated with the indication of the subset of one or more SSB beams for receiving the PDSCH.
