Abstract
A user equipment (UE) searches for a first signal in a first bandwidth. The UE processes the signal to decode an indication of a second bandwidth, the signal includes a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal, wherein the first bandwidth is different than the second bandwidth. Further, the UE detect a second signal in the second bandwidth.
Claims20
A user equipment comprising:
- a receiver;
- and
- a processor, wherein:
- the receiver and the processor are configured to search for a first signal in a first bandwidth;
- the processor is configured to process the signal to decode an indication of a second bandwidth, the signal includes a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal, wherein the first bandwidth is different than the second bandwidth;
- and
- the receiver and the processor are configured to detect a second signal in the second bandwidth.
A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- searching for a first signal in a first bandwidth;
- processing the signal to decode an indication of a second bandwidth, the signal includes a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal, wherein the first bandwidth is different than the second bandwidth;
- and
- detecting a second signal in the second bandwidth.
At least one non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing a user equipment (UE) to perform a method of:
- searching for a first signal in a first bandwidth;
- processing the signal to decode an indication of a second bandwidth, the signal includes a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal, wherein the first bandwidth is different than the second bandwidth;
- and
- detecting a second signal in the second bandwidth.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- means for searching for a first signal in a first bandwidth;
- means for processing the signal to decode an indication of a second bandwidth, the signal includes a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal, wherein the first bandwidth is different than the second bandwidth;
- and
- means for detecting a second signal in the second bandwidth.
