  • Unified synchronization design under mixed deployments
    Patent number: 10512051
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein create unified synchronization to support various network deployments in which multiple UE states (e.g., idle, connected, etc) and multiple synchronization signal periodicities (5 ms, 20 ms, etc.) and standalone/non-standalone networks may exist. Unified synchronization may be achieved at least by designating transmit frames as being even or odd. With such a designation, when a network transmits synchronization signals (SS) comprising the most significant bits (MSB)s of a frame's system frame number (SFN), a UE of any state may receive the SS according to any periodicity and blind decode the SFN's least significant bits (LSBs) with less complexity as compared to traditional systems and methods due at least to the even or odd frame designations.
