Claim 5:
6. A method of enabling synchronization in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
a base station of the wireless communication network identifying a set of multiple subcarrier spacings which are supported for transmission of synchronization signals;
from the set of multiple different subcarrier spacings, the base station selects a subset of one or more subcarrier spacings, which are supported for transmission of synchronization signals;
the base station transmitting synchronization signals based on the selected at least one of the one or more subcarrier spacings of the subset,
wherein the base station selects the subset of the one or more subcarrier spacings based on a set of frequency ranges in which the base station is configured to transmit and based on a mapping of the one or more subcarrier spacings to the frequency ranges,
wherein the base station communicates information about subcarrier spacings used by neighboring base stations, and
wherein for each of the transmitted synchronization signals a length of a cyclic prefix of modulation symbols is based on the utilized subcarrier spacing.
