Aspects of the disclosure relate to aperiodic transmission of one or more instances of at least one synchronization signal to a user equipment (UE). For example, the base station may allocate a plurality of time resources for aperiodic transmission of one or more instances of at least one synchronization signal different from a synchronization signal block transmitted by the base station. The base station may further transmit the aperiodic transmission of the one or more instances of the at least one synchronization signal to at least one UE using the plurality of time resources.
