    Abstract: Aspects described herein include receiving, at a base station operating in a wireless communication network, at least one chirp signal including at least one system information block request bitmap that identifies one or more of a plurality of system information blocks corresponding to each of one or more system information requests, identifying the one or more system information requests, generating a message in response to the one or more system information requests, encoding at least the portion of the message based at least in part the at least one system information block request bitmap to define an encoded message; and transmitting, over a broadcast channel, the encoded message in response to the chirp signal. A user equipment may include aspects for transmitting the chirp signal and receiving the encoded message.

    Abstract: Wireless communication devices are adapted to facilitate a random access procedure. According to one example, scheduled entity can transmit a first transmission that is received by a scheduling entity. The first transmission may include a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble sequence and a first message including information for determining a device-specific network identifier for the scheduled entity. The scheduling entity may transmit a second transmission that is received by the scheduled entity. The second transmission may include information on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) addressed to the device-specific network identifier for the scheduled entity, and a second message on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for adaptive subcarrier spacing in wireless communication networks are described. For example, the described aspects include transmitting, from the UE to a network entity, a first PRACH transmission with a first subcarrier spacing; determining, by the UE, that the first PRACH transmission to the network entity is not successful; and transmitting, from the UE, a second PRACH transmission with a second subcarrier spacing in response to determining that the first PRACH transmission is not successful, wherein the first subcarrier spacing is different from the second subcarrier spacing.

    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: Wireless communication devices are adapted to facilitate multiple synchronization channels within a single carrier. In some examples, an apparatus for wireless communication may transmit a first synchronization channel at a first frequency in a carrier bandwidth, and at least one additional synchronization channel at a different respective frequency in the carrier bandwidth. In some examples, an apparatus for wireless communication may scan a carrier bandwidth for one of a plurality of synchronization channels conveyed at different respective frequencies in the carrier bandwidth, and discover a synchronization channel from among the plurality of synchronization channels. The apparatus may further receive information conveyed over the discovered synchronization channel and utilize the information to access the carrier. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
