20140293988 | TIMING SYNCHRONIZATION IN DISCOVERY SIGNALS - Embodiments described herein relate generally to a device that is to transmit signals using a control channel. The device may be, for example, a user equipment or low-powered radio access node. Before transmitting the signal, the transmitting device may modify symbols associated with the signal. For example, the transmitting device may generate a scrambling sequence and modulate the symbols associated with the signal with the scrambling sequence. In another example, the transmitting device may apply a shifting pattern or hopping pattern to the sequence indices associated with sequences for symbols to be included in the signal. The applied pattern may change one or more sequence indices associated with one or more symbol indices associated with the signal. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. | 10-02-2014 |
