Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for a base station (BS) to configure default and supplementary sync signals (SS) at sub-band bandwidths in a wireless communication system. The supplementary SS may be configured in response to a determination that the BS is in wireless communications with a UE using a single narrow band radio-frequency chain. The BS may configure the supplementary SS to be proximate in frequency to a PDCCH search space currently in use by the UE. The default SS may be configured to support initial access and may have a shorter periodicity, while the supplementary SS may be configured to not support initial access and may have a longer periodicity. The BS may additionally or alternatively configure a tracking reference signal (RS), wherein the tracking RS is configured on-demand based on a current network load of the BS. The tracking RS may be configured at a sub-band bandwidth, wherein the sub-band bandwidth is selected based on a bandwidth allocated to an active UE in wireless communication with the BS.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the program instructions are further executable by the processing element to cause the UE to:\n transmit a notification to the BS that the UE is conducting wireless communications with the BS using the RF chain that is configured to monitor the bandwidth that is less than the component carrier bandwidth, wherein the supplementary SS is monitored via the RF chain after transmitting the notification.
