Patent ID: 11424855

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) and master information block (MIB) design. An example method is provided for operations which may be performed by a user equipment (UE). The example method generally comprises receiving, a first number of symbols within a first subframe on a physical channel, performing a first blind decode on the first number of symbols to obtain a first set of bits, performing one or more cyclic shifts on the first set of bits, calculating a redundancy check value for the first set of bits, and decoding an information block based on the whether the redundancy check value passes. Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for transmission configurations. An example method is provided for operations which may be performed by a base station (BS). The example method generally comprises selecting a transmission configuration, from a set of predetermined transmission configurations, based on a deployment configuration, generating a signal having an indication of the deployment configuration, and transmitting the signal.
