Abstract
Systems and methods for synchronizing communications between a User Equipment (UE) and Base Station (BS) using a synchronization signal structure. The synchronization signal structure can include a sequence of Synchronization Signals (SS) including repetitions of a synchronization signal burst set. The synchronization signal burst set can include a plurality of synchronization signal bursts. The synchronization signal bursts can include a plurality of synchronization signal blocks, wherein the synchronization signal blocks can include a plurality of Synchronization Signals (SS).
Claims20
An apparatus for a base station, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory interface to access data for synchronization parameters stored in a memory;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- encode, based on the synchronization parameters, a synchronization signal burst set comprising a plurality of bursts of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) in series;
- and
- cause the base station to perform beam sweeping based on the plurality of bursts of SSBs within the synchronization signal burst set.
A non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions to cause a base station, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the base station, to:
- encode a synchronization signal burst set comprising a plurality of bursts of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) in series;
- and
- perform beam sweeping based on the plurality of bursts of SSBs within the synchronization signal burst set.
