Abstract:
A method for synchronizing a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes determining a first beam identifier associated with a transmission beam conveying a first received beamformed synchronization signal, determining if a first synchronization cycle is complete, and based on the first synchronization cycle not being complete, repeating the determining the first beam identifier, and the determining if the first synchronization cycle is not complete until the first synchronization cycle is complete.
