Techniques for unified synchronization channel design in new radio

Abstract

Various aspects described herein relate to techniques for synchronization channel design and signaling in wireless communications systems (e.g., a 5th Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) system). In an aspect, a method includes identifying a frequency band supported by a user equipment (UE), identifying one or more frequency locations based on the identified frequency band, and the one or more frequency locations are a subset of synchronization raster points used for synchronization signal transmission. The method further includes searching for at least one synchronization signal based on the one or more identified frequency locations.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
 means for identifying a frequency band supported by a user equipment (UE);   means for identifying one or more frequency locations based on the identified frequency band, wherein the one or more frequency locations are a subset of synchronization raster points used for synchronization signal transmission; and   means for searching for at least one synchronization signal based on the one or more identified frequency locations.
