The base station may transmit, for a second type of user equipment with a second user equipment capability that is different from the first user equipment capability, a second synchronization signal block associated with a second set of configuration parameters that is different from the first set of configuration parameters. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 2020-12-24 |
20200404601 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SS/PBCH BLOCK REPETITION - A method and apparatus of a user equipment (UE) are provided. The method and apparatus comprise: identifying spatial parameters for a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and a downlink (DL) signal, wherein the spatial parameters are commonly used for receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal; receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal are time division multiplexed in a same slot; and determining information from the DL signal. | 2020-12-24 |
