ENHANCED PHYSICAL BROADCAST CHANNEL FOR NEW CARRIER TYPE IN LONG TERM EVOLUTION

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for enhanced physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for new carrier type (NCT) in long term evolution (LTE). According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a base station (BS) is provided. The method generally includes generating an enhanced physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) using a frequency division multiplexed (FDM) structure, wherein the EPBCH spans substantially a subframe duration and transmitting the EPBCH.
