Abstract
A method and apparatus of a user equipment (UE) are provided. The method and apparatus comprise: identifying spatial parameters for a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and a downlink (DL) signal, wherein the spatial parameters are commonly used for receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal; receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal are time division multiplexed in a same slot; and determining information from the DL signal.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a processor configured to identify spatial parameters for a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and a downlink (DL) signal, wherein the spatial parameters are for receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal;
- and
- a transceiver operably connected to the processor, the transceiver configured to receive the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal are time division multiplexed in a same slot,
- wherein the processor is further configured to determine information from the DL signal.
A base station (BS) comprising:
- a processor configured to identify spatial parameters for a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and a downlink (DL) signal, wherein the spatial parameters are for transmitting the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal;
- and
- a transceiver operably connected to the processor, the transceiver configured to transmit the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal are time division multiplexed in a same slot, the DL signal comprising information.
A method of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- identifying spatial parameters for a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and a downlink (DL) signal, wherein the spatial parameters are for receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal;
- receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal are time division multiplexed in a same slot;
- and
- determining information from the DL signal.
