Abstract
Systems and methods for synchronizing communications between a User Equipment (UE) and Base Station (BS) using a synchronization signal structure. The synchronization signal structure can include a sequence of Synchronization Signals (SS) including repetitions of a synchronization signal burst set. The synchronization signal burst set can include a plurality of synchronization signal bursts. The synchronization signal bursts can include a plurality of synchronization signal blocks, wherein the synchronization signal blocks can include a plurality of Synchronization Signals (SS).
Claims18
A method for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- decoding, at the UE, a synchronization signal burst set transmitted from a base station, the synchronization signal burst set comprising a plurality of bursts of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) in series, wherein the plurality of bursts of SSBs includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and wherein the SSS is not repeated with the synchronization signal burst set that is within a synchronization signal burst set duration;
- and
- synchronizing the UE with the base station based on the plurality of bursts of SSBs within the synchronization signal burst set.
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors to execute the instructions to:
- decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal burst set transmitted from a base station, the synchronization signal burst set comprising a plurality of bursts of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) in series, wherein the plurality of bursts of SSBs includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and wherein the SSS is not repeated with the synchronization signal burst set that is within a synchronization signal burst set duration;
- and
- synchronize the UE with the base station based on the plurality of bursts of SSBs within the synchronization signal burst set.
