signaling and determination of interval and mini-interval structure

摘要

The present invention relates to wireless communication systems, methods and techniques related to signaling and determination of interval and mini-interval structures. a first wireless communication device transmits a first signal according to a first numerology including at least a first tone spacing. The first sign indicates a second numerology including at least one second tone spacing. The first wireless communication device transmits a second signal according to the second numerology. the first signal includes a physical transmission channel (pbch) signal. The second numerology is independent of the first numerology. Different gap / mini-gap structures can be used by various channel types to support mixed numerology arrangements. embodiments may utilize single and varied range structures; Single range structures can be decoupled from transmission numerology, and varied range structures can be defined based on reference numerology. other aspects, embodiments and features are also claimed and described.
