Claim 15:
16. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a synchronization signal block (SSB), wherein the SSB includes:
a primary synchronization signal (PSS) located in a first, in time, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the SSB;
physical broadcast channel (PBCH) information located in at least a second, in time, OFDM symbol of the SSB and a fourth, in time, OFDM symbol of the SSB, wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is located in same frequency locations in the second, in time, OFDM symbol and the fourth, in time, OFDM symbol and is interleaved in frequency with a payload of the PBCH; and
a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) located in a third, in time, OFDM symbol of the SSB;
wherein the SSB spans only the first, in time, OFDM symbol, the second, in time, OFDM symbol, the third, in time, OFDM symbol and the fourth, in time, OFDM symbol;
wherein the PSS and the SSS span a same frequency spectrum and the PBCH spans a wider frequency spectrum than the PSS and the SSS.
