Downlink synchronization
First Claim
1. An apparatus on a 5G network comprising:
- a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon for performing configuration of an initial access signal in the 5G network; and
a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, capable of executing the instructions of;
monitoring transmissions of a downlink sweeping subframe including a beam sweeping block carrying a downlink initial access signal;
detecting the downlink initial access signal carrying a synchronization channel; and
determining, based on the synchronization channel, an identity of the beam sweeping block associated with the downlink initial access signal.

Abstract
The present application is at least directed to an apparatus on a 5G network. The apparatus includes a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon for performing configuration of an initial access signal in the 5G network. The apparatus also includes a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, capable of executing an instruction of monitoring transmission of a downlink sweeping subframe including a beam sweeping block carrying a downlink initial access signal. The processor is capable of also executing the instruction of detecting the downlink initial access signal carrying a synchronization channel. The processor is capable of also executing the instruction of determining, based on the synchronization channel, an identity of the beam sweeping block associated with the downlink initial access signal. The present application is also directed to an apparatus configured to perform downlink synchronization of a cell in the 5G network.

16. An apparatus on a 5G network comprising:
-
a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon for performing downlink synchronization of a cell in the 5G network; and a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, capable of executing the instructions of; performing a search for a cell in a 5G network; detecting a primary synchronization signal of the cell; identifying a secondary synchronization signal of the cell; synchronizing with the cell; and decoding a physical broadcast channel of the cell using sync numerology, wherein a subcarrier spacing factor is obtained either from the detected primary synchronization signal or the detected second synchronization signal. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
