Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
mapping a synchronization signal to a plurality of antennas during a sequence of time periods, wherein the plurality of antennas is communicatively coupled to one or more radio units, wherein the one or more radio units are communicatively coupled to at least one baseband unit, wherein each respective radio unit of the one or more radio units is communicatively coupled to a respective subset of the plurality of antennas, wherein the at least one baseband unit, the one or more radio units, and the plurality of antennas are configured to implement a base station for wirelessly communicating with user equipment;
transmitting the synchronization signal via the plurality of antennas with a first antenna beam pattern during a first time period of the sequence of time periods; and
transmitting the synchronization signal with a second antenna beam pattern via the plurality of antennas during a second time period of the sequence of time periods, wherein the first antenna beam pattern is different than the second antenna beam pattern.
