Identification of cells in new radio unlicensed

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify a globally unique set of characteristics associated with a cell associated with the base station. The base station may generate a signature value unique to the cell based at least in part on a hash of the globally unique set of characteristics associated with the cell. The base station may transmit a control signal over a channel of a shared radio frequency spectrum band, the control signal comprising a physical cell identifier of the cell and the signature value.
