Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for transmitting and processing synchronization signals (SS) for different purposes. In some cases, transmitting multiple SS blocks simultaneously using frequency division multiplexing (FDM), and possibly different beams, may allow a UE to reduce a measurement window.
Claims26
A method for performing wireless communications by a network entity, comprising:
- identifying one or more time intervals for transmitting synchronization signal (SS) blocks for one or more user equipments (UEs) to use for at least one of initial access or measurement purposes;
- and
- transmitting, within one of the time intervals, SS blocks at different frequency locations using frequency division multiplexing (FDM).
A method for performing wireless communications by a user equipment, comprising:
- receiving, within one of time intervals, synchronization signal (SS) blocks transmitted at different frequency locations using frequency division multiplexing (FDM);
- and
- performing at least one of initial access or measurement based on the SS blocks.
An apparatus for performing wireless communications by a network entity, comprising:
- means for identifying one or more time intervals for transmitting synchronization signal (SS) blocks for one or more user equipments (UEs) to use for at least one of initial access or measurement purposes;
- and
- means for transmitting, within one of the time intervals, SS blocks at different frequency locations using frequency division multiplexing (FDM).
