Abstract
A system and a method for synchronization and link acquisition in cellular wireless systems with directional antennas are disclosed. In an embodiment a method for wireless communication includes synchronizing, by a first network controller, transmission of a first synchronization signal with transmission of a second synchronization signal from another network controller.
Claims27
A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a network controller, reference signals (RS) for beam management to a user equipment (UE);
- receiving, by the network controller, a plurality of reported beams from the UE;
- and
- signaling, by the network controller, scheduling instructions to the UE based on the received beams so that the UE is configured to search for synchronization signals with at least one first beam using a first antenna set while still being able to receive bearer data with at least one second beam using a second antenna set during a first time period for synchronization, wherein the first antenna set and the second antenna set are non-overlapping.

A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE), reference signals (RS) for beam management from a network controller;
- reporting, by the UE, a plurality of beams to the network controller;
- and
- receiving, by the UE, scheduling instructions from the network controller based on the sent beams so that the UE is configured to search for synchronization signals with at least one first beam using a first antenna set while still being able to receive bearer data with at least one second beam and using a second antenna set during a first time period for synchronization, wherein the first antenna set and the second antenna set are non-overlapping.
