Abstract
A user equipment (UE) for selecting a cell using a synchronization signal (SS) in a wireless communication network. The UE comprises determining subcarrier spacing based on an operating frequency band, receiving, from a base station (BS), a signal block comprising a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a broadcasting signal conveyed on a physical broadcasting channel (PBCH), decoding a block index from the signal block, and determining OFDM symbol indices corresponding to the block index, wherein the OFDM symbol indices are determined by a mapping pattern based corresponding to the subcarrier spacing, and wherein the mapping pattern comprises a plurality of bursts each of which includes a set of consecutive OFDM symbols.
