Methods, architectures, apparatuses and systems directed to initial access in higher frequencies

Abstract

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products directed to initial access in higher frequencies are provided. Among the methods is a method that may be implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit and that may include any of receiving a first transmission having a frequency component that carries synchronization signal information and that corresponds to one sync-raster value of a plurality of values of a sync raster; determining one or more parameters based on (i) the one sync-raster value being a member of a partition of a plurality of partitions of the sync raster; and (ii) the partition being indicative of a mode of operation; and receiving a second transmission using the one or more parameters, wherein the second transmission comprises control channel information.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
