Synchronization and broadcast channel design with flexible bandwidth allocations

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide various synchronization channel and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) designs. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The UE detects a synchronization channel and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) transmitted with the synchronization channel. The UE demodulates a PBCH based on the SSS and determines system bandwidth corresponding to the downlink bandwidth based on system information in the PBCH.
