Synchronization signal block design

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• determine a first sub-carrier spacing (SCS) for a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission and a second SCS for a data transmission, wherein the second SCS is different than the first SCS;
• determine a SSB structure based on the first SCS and the second SCS, wherein the SSB structure includes a plurality of SSB transmissions, each SSB transmission comprising four SSB symbols, wherein there is at least one gap between the SSB symbols of a single SSB transmission;
• transmit or receive an SSB based on the SSB structure;
• and
• transmit or receive at least one uplink symbol using the second SCS during the at least one gap between the SSB symbols of the single SSB transmission.

• and
• means for transmitting or receiving an SSB based on the SSB structure, wherein the means for transmitting or receiving is configured to transmit or receive at least one uplink symbol using the second SCS during the at least one gap between the SSB symbols of the single SSB transmission.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, the code when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• determine a first sub-carrier spacing (SCS) for a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission and a second SCS for a data transmission, wherein the second SCS is different than the first SCS;
• determine a SSB structure based on the first SCS and the second SCS, wherein the SSB structure includes a plurality of SSB transmissions, each SSB transmission comprising four SSB symbols, wherein there is at least one gap between the SSB symbols of a single SSB transmission;
• transmit or receive an SSB based on the SSB structure;
• and
• transmit or receive at least one uplink symbol using the second SCS during the at least one gap between the SSB symbols of the single SSB transmission.
