GENERATION NODE-B (GNB), USER EQUIPMENT (UE) AND METHODS OF SYNCHRONIZATION BASED ON SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL (SS) BLOCKS IN NEW RADIO (NR) SYSTEMS

摘要

Embodiments of a generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The gNB may transmit a synchronization signal (SS) block that includes: a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The PBCH may include an SS block index that indicates a time position of the SS block within a radio frame. The SS block index may be based on a summation of: an intra-slot index of the SS block within the slot in which the SS block is to be transmitted, and a product of a number of SS blocks per slot and a slot index, with respect to the plurality of slots of the radio frame, of the slot in which the SS block is to be transmitted.
