    Abstract: A base station may transmit a plurality of synchronization signals in a wireless communication system. The synchronization signals may be multiplexed to form a SS block that is transmitted as part of an SS burst. Each SS block may be identifiable based on SS block index information carried by its corresponding synchronization signals. In one aspect, a synchronization signal that carries SS block index information is frequency division multiplexed with a secondary synchronization signal of the SS block. In one aspect, the synchronization signal that carries the SS block index information comprises a DM-RS for a PBCH of the SS block. A UE may use the SS block index information to identify a beam on which the SS block is transmitted. The UE may use the synchronization signals as part of a cell search procedure by which it acquires time and frequency synchronization with the base station.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A device—such as a base station or user equipment (UE)—may transmit a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) including signaling information in addition to channel estimation information. To improve reception of the DMRS signaling information, the transmitting device may employ data protection techniques to the signaling information and modify a data payload transmitted in the physical data channel associated with the DMRS. In one aspect, the transmitting device may modify cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits in the payload to include verification for the signaling information. In another aspect, the transmitting device may determine a scrambling code based on the signaling information, and may scramble the payload based on the scrambling code.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for synchronization signal (SS) blocks in which synchronization signals and broadcast channel transmissions may be transmitted. Broadcast channel transmissions may be demodulated using SS transmissions, reference signal transmissions, or combinations thereof. Broadcast channel transmissions may be transmitted in a subset of SS block time resources, and synchronization signals may be transmitted in another subset of SS block time resources. Reference signals may be transmitted using tones within the broadcast channel time resources, and may be transmitted at a higher density for portions of the broadcast channel transmission bandwidth that are outside of the SS transmission bandwidth. Waveforms for reference signal transmissions, and information provided by reference signal transmissions may be provided.

    Abstract: Split synchronization signal configuration for unified synchronization channels and techniques for indicating communication block boundaries in wireless communication systems that use a unified synchronization signal configuration that may be used in different communication modes are described. The disclosed split synchronization signal configuration allows the same synchronization signal configuration to be used in different communication modes (or numerologies) that operate on different frequencies. The boundary indication techniques of embodiments allow efficient indication of the beginning of a communication block (such as a frame, subframe, or slot) relative to the beginning of a unified synchronization signal configuration.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus synchronization configuration in different operation modes using communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. For example, a method for wireless communications by a base station (BS) may include determining an operation mode of the BS, determining a transmission configuration of at least one of a one or more synchronization channels or a one or more synchronization signals based on the operation mode, and transmitting the one or more synchronization channels or the one or more synchronization signals based on the determined transmission configuration.
