Title:
METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CELL SEARCHING IN A MILLIMETER WAVE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/203312
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for cell searching in an MMC network, wherein the MMC network is a stand-alone MMC network, and the MMC network comprises a base station having a massive antenna array. One method comprises, at the base station: generating a plurality of transmit beams simultaneously using all antenna elements of the massive antenna array; and transmitting a plurality of PSSs and SSSs simultaneously to UEs in an MMC cell through the plurality of transmit beams, wherein each of the PSSs or SSSs includes a beam index of a corresponding transmit beam.
