Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods related to multiplexing patterns for synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) and remaining minimum system information (RMSI).
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- determine a remaining minimum system information (RMSI) subcarrier spacing (SCS) for a multiplexing pattern between a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) and remaining minimum system information (RMSI) to be utilized for transmission to a UE that is to operate in millimeter wave (mmWave);
- determine a SSB SCS for the multiplexing pattern;
- determine that the SSB SCS is less than the RMSI SCS;
- determine a number of symbols of the multiplexing pattern to be utilized for the RMSI based on the SSB SCS being less than the RMSI SCS;
- and
- provide an indication of the number of symbols to the UE.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- identify an indication of a number of remaining minimum system information (RMSI) symbols for a multiplexing pattern between a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) and RMSI that is to operate in millimeter wave (mmWave);
- identify a SSB and RMSI transmission having the multiplexing pattern from a next generation NodeB (gNB);
- and
- process the SSB and RMSI transmission based on the number of RMSI symbols.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- a memory to store remaining minimum system information (RMSI) for transmission to a user equipment within a multiplexing pattern between a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) and RMSI for operation in millimeter wave (mmWave);
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory to:
- determine a SSB subcarrier spacing (SCS) and a RMSI SCS for the multiplexing pattern;
- determine that the SSB SCS is less than the RMSI SCS;
- and
- determine a use for excess symbols of the multiplexing pattern due to the SSB SCS being less than the RMSI SCS.
