Patent Images
1. A method for discovering timing information during wireless communications, comprising:
- monitoring at a user equipment (UE) over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band for a discovery signal from a network entity;
receiving the discovery signal during a subframe from the network entity; and
determining a current subframe location of the network entity based on the discovery signal, wherein the discovery signal includes timing information corresponding to the current subframe location.
