Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block pattern. A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes determining a pattern for SS/PBCH blocks including N candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a time domain and M candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a frequency domain and identifying, for a SS/PBCH block, a first index īt(0≤īt≤N−1) from the N candidate SS/PBCH blocks in the time domain and a second index īf(0≤īf≤M−1) from M candidate SS/PBCH blocks in the frequency domain. The method further includes receiving, from a base station (BS), the SS/PBCH block based on the pattern.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine a pattern for synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks including N candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a time domain and M candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a frequency domain;
- and
- identify, for a SS/PBCH block, (i) a first index īt (0≤īt≤N−1) from the N candidate SS/PBCH blocks in the time domain and (ii) a second index īf(0≤īf≤M−1) from M candidate SS/PBCH blocks in the frequency domain;
- and
- a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to receive, from a base station (BS), the SS/PBCH block based on the pattern.
A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine a pattern for synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks including N candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a time domain and M candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a frequency domain;
- and
- determine, for a SS/PBCH block, (i) a first index īt (0≤īt≤N−1) from the N candidate SS/PBCH blocks in the time domain and (ii) a second index īf(0≤īf≤M−1) from M candidate SS/PBCH blocks in the frequency domain;
- and
- a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), the SS/PBCH block based on the pattern.
