Abstract: In order to improve cell detection in NR, a user equipment apparatus performs a PSS search on a first frequency raster from a group of frequency rasters. When the UE detects a PSS on the first frequency raster corresponding to a PSS hypothesis, the UE searches for an SS on a second frequency raster based at least on part on the detected PSS hypothesis on the first frequency raster. The UE may search for a plurality of hypotheses of the SS corresponding to the detected PSS hypothesis on the first frequency raster and the second frequency raster. The second frequency raster may be selected from the group of frequency rasters based at least in part on the detected PSS hypothesis or the first frequency raster on which the PSS was detected.

Abstract: A receiving device may remain in omni-directional mode while receiving RTS messages from transmitting devices. Multiple devices may transmit RTS messages at the same time, causing interference and preventing intended recipients of the RTS messages from transmitting a CTS message. To increase medium reuse, RTS may be transmitted and received in a slotted and directional manner. A receiving device may select a sweeping pattern for receiving transmission from neighboring devices. The receiving device may also determine one or more time slots allocated to each of the neighboring devices for receiving transmissions from the neighboring devices. The receiving device may transmit an indication of the sweeping pattern and the time slots to one or more of the neighboring devices. Subsequently, during one of the indicated time slots, the receiving device may perform a beam sweep to receive one or more RTS messages from one of the neighboring devices.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for assisted power control for an uplink signal transmitted during a RACH procedure. A UE may determine a transmit power for transmitting a message during a RACH procedure with a secondary BS, based at least in part, on communication between the UE and a primary BS. The UE may transmit the message to the second BS during the RACH procedure based, at least in part, on the determined transmit power.

Abstract: The base station that is configured to transmit in a beamformed manner may set different transmission rates for different directions of the beams. During an initial access stage, the base station may determine how densely user equipments are located in various regions surrounding the base station, and may assign more beams for transmission of an initial access signal in an area with more UEs. The apparatus may be a base station. The base station divides a region surrounding the base station into a plurality of sub-regions, where one region of the plurality of sub-regions covers a greater area than at least one other region of the plurality of sub-regions. The base station assigns each beam of a plurality of beams of the base station to a respective sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions. The base station transmits at least one initial access signal in each direction of the plurality of beams using a respective beam of the plurality of beams, each direction of the plurality of beams corresponding to a respective sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions.
