METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENT REFERENCE SIGNAL AND SYNCHRONIZATION
First Claim
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a primary broadcast channel (PBCH); and
a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to decode cell identification information from at least the PSS and the SSS and to decode a master information block (MIB) from the PBCH;
wherein the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH are time-division multiplexed, andwherein a same set of sequences are used for the PSS and the SSS for different carrier frequencies and different sub-carrier spacing values.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for measurement reference signals and synchronization signals. A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and a processor operably connected to the transceiver. The transceiver is configured to receive a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a primary broadcast channel (PBCH). The processor is configured to decode cell identification information from at least the PSS and the SSS and to decode a master information block (MIB) from the PBCH. The PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH are time-division multiplexed. A same set of sequences are used for the PSS and the SSS for different carrier frequencies and different sub-carrier spacing values.
