SYNCHRONIZATION FOR WIDEBAND COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) in subframe of a frame,wherein the SSS is received in a symbol of the subframe that is after a symbol of the subframe in which the PSS is received, and after a set of symbols of the subframe in which a set of other synchronization signals is received; and
synchronizing, by the UE, with a base station based at least in part on the PSS and the SSS received in the subframe.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for synchronization for wideband coverage enhancement. A user equipment (UE) may receive a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) in a subframe. In one example, the SSS may be received in a symbol that is after a symbol in which the PSS is received, and after a set of symbols in which a set of other synchronization signals is received. In another example, the PSS may be received in each of a first plurality of consecutive symbols, and the SSS may be received in each of a second plurality of consecutive symbols, wherein the second plurality of consecutive symbols is after the first plurality of consecutive symbols within the subframe. The UE may synchronize with a base station based at least in part on the PSS and the SSS. Numerous other aspects are provided.
