Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with an SSB configuration for an operating band having a maximum bandwidth that is narrower than a minimum SSB bandwidth for an access link. The UE may decode the SSB based at least in part on the SSB configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with an SSB configuration for an operating band having a maximum bandwidth that is narrower than a minimum SSB bandwidth for an access link, wherein the SSB includes one or more punctured edges such that the SSB includes a set of resource blocks (RBs) only in a frequency region that is within the maximum bandwidth of the operating band, and wherein RBs in the punctured edges are not received by the UE;
- and
- decoding the SSB based at least in part on the SSB configuration.
A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
- determining a synchronization signal block (SSB) configuration for an operating band associated with the base station, wherein the operating band has a maximum bandwidth that is narrower than a minimum SSB bandwidth for an access link;
- and
- transmitting an SSB based at least in part on the SSB configuration, wherein the SSB includes one or more punctured edges such that the SSB includes a set of resource blocks (RBs) only in a frequency region that is within the maximum bandwidth of the operating band, and wherein RBs in the punctured edges are not transmitted by the base station.
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from a base station, a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with an SSB configuration for an operating band having a maximum bandwidth that is narrower than a minimum SSB bandwidth for an access link, wherein the SSB includes one or more punctured edges such that the SSB includes a set of resource blocks (RBs) only in a frequency region that is within the maximum bandwidth of the operating band, and wherein RBs in the punctured edges are not received by the UE;
- and
- decode the SSB based at least in part on the SSB configuration.
A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
- determine a synchronization signal block (SSB) configuration for an operating band associated with the base station, wherein the operating band has a maximum bandwidth that is narrower than a minimum SSB bandwidth for an access link;
- and
- transmit an SSB based at least in part on the SSB configuration, wherein the SSB includes one or more punctured edges such that the SSB includes a set of resource blocks RBs) only in a frequency region that is within the maximum bandwidth of the operating band, and wherein RBs in the punctured edges are not transmitted by the base station.
