Abstract
A network node comprises a transceiver configured to broadcast a first synchronization signal on a dedicated frequency band, wherein the dedicated frequency band is common to a plurality of operators and wherein the first synchronization signal indicates an identity of at least one operator among the plurality of operators. Furthermore, a user device is described.
Claims21
A network node for a wireless communication system, the network node comprising:
- a transceiver, configured to broadcast a first synchronization signal on a dedicated frequency band, wherein the dedicated frequency band is common to a plurality of operators and wherein the first synchronization signal indicates an identity of at least one operator among the plurality of operators.
A user device for a wireless communication system, the user device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a first signal on a dedicated frequency band, wherein the dedicated frequency band is common to a plurality of operators and wherein the first synchronization signal indicates an identity of at least one operator among the plurality of operators;
- and
- a processor configured to derive the identity of the at least one operator from the first synchronization signal;
- wherein the transceiver further is configured to initiate an access procedure to a radio access network of the at least one operator if the derived identity matches an identity in a list of operator identities for the user device.
A method for a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- broadcasting, by a network node, a first synchronization signal on a dedicated frequency band, wherein the dedicated frequency band is common to a plurality of operators and wherein the first synchronization signal indicates an identity of at least one operator among the plurality of operators.
A method for a wireless communication system, the method comprising
- receiving, by a user device, a first synchronization signal on a dedicated frequency band, wherein the dedicated frequency band is common to a plurality of operators and wherein the first synchronization signal indicates an identity of at least one operator among the plurality of operators;
- deriving, by the user device, the identity of the at least one operator from the first synchronisation signal;
- and
- initiating, by the user device, an access procedure to a radio access network of the at least one operator if the derived identity matches an identity in a list of operator identities for the user device.
