Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 15:
16. A base station (BS) configured to transmit a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one transceiver and the at least one processor and, when executed, causing the at least one transceiver and the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
generating a PBCH demodulation reference (DM-RS) sequence for a PBCH for a cell; and
transmitting, on the cell through the at least one transceiver, a SS/PBCH block with the PBCH DM-RS sequence,
wherein the SS/PBCH block includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and the PBCH, and
wherein generating the PBCH DM-RS sequence for the PBCH comprises initializing the PBCH DM-RS sequence based on (i) a cell identifier (ID) of the cell and (ii) the index of the SS/PBCH block including the PBCH.
