Techniques for unified synchronization channel design in new radio

A method of wireless communications, comprising:

• identifying, by a base station, a frequency band supported by a user equipment (UE);
• identifying, by the base station, one or more frequency locations based on the identified frequency band, wherein the one or more frequency locations are a subset of synchronization raster points used for synchronization signal transmission;
• and
• transmitting, by the base station, at least one synchronization signal based on the one or more identified frequency locations.

A base station for wireless communications, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled with the memory and the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
• identify a frequency band in a subset of frequency bands supported by the apparatus;
• identify a synchronization numerology used for the subset of frequency bands;
• and
• transmit, via the transceiver, at least one synchronization signal having the identified synchronization numerology at the identified frequency band.
