Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for multiplexing initial access transmissions with data and/or control transmissions. For example, the techniques include a method for wireless communication by a first base station (BS). The method includes communicating, in a first time interval, with at least a first user equipment (UE), via directional transmissions using a first set of frequency resources, and participating in at least one of an access or management procedure, during the first time interval, via directional transmissions using a second set of frequency resources.

A method for wireless communication by a first base station (BS), comprising:
- communicating, in a first time interval, with at least a first user equipment (UE), via directional transmissions using a first set of frequency resources, wherein communicating with the first UE comprises receiving or monitoring for a first set of one or more signals in the first set of frequency resources from the first UE;
- and
- participating in at least one of an access or management procedure, during the first time interval, via directional transmissions using a second set of frequency resources different from the first set of frequency resources, wherein participating in at least one of the access or management procedure further comprises receiving or monitoring for a second set of one or more signals in the second set of frequency resources.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a first base station (BS), comprising:
- means for communicating, in a first time interval, with at least a first user equipment (UE), via directional transmissions using a first set of frequency resources, wherein the means for communicating with the first UE comprises means for receiving or monitoring for a first set of one or more signals in the first set of frequency resources from the first UE;
- and
- means for participating in at least one of an access or management procedure, during the first time interval, via directional transmissions using a second set of frequency resources different from the first set of frequency resources, wherein the means for participating in at least one of the access or management procedure further comprises means for receiving or monitoring for a second set of one or more signals in the second set of frequency resources.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a first base station (BS), comprising:
- at least one processor configured to communicate, in a first time interval, with at least a first user equipment (UE), via directional transmissions using a first set of frequency resources, wherein communicating with the first UE comprises receiving or monitoring for a first set of one or more signals in the first set of frequency resources from the first UE, and to participate in at least one of an access or management procedure, during the first time interval, via directional transmissions using a second set of frequency resources different from the first set of frequency resources, wherein participating in at least one of the access or management procedure further comprises receiving or monitoring for a second set of one or more signals in the second set of frequency resources;
- and
- a memory coupled with the at least one processor.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a first base station (BS), cause the first BS to perform a method of wireless communications, comprising:
- communicating, in a first time interval, with at least a first user equipment (UE), via directional transmissions using a first set of frequency resources, wherein communicating with the first UE comprises receiving or monitoring for a first set of one or more signals in the first set of frequency resources from the first UE;
- and
- participating in at least one of an access or management procedure, during the first time interval, via directional transmissions using a second set of frequency resources different from the first set of frequency resources, wherein participating in at least one of the access or management procedure further comprises receiving or monitoring for a second set of one or more signals in the second set of frequency resources.
