Conveying information through phase offset on PSS relative to DL-RS

摘要

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate conveying information utilizing a constant phase offset on Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS). In general, the subject innovation can employ a fixed set of beams and phases in which a PSS and a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) can be transmitted with the fixed set of beams and phases. Furthermore, the phase offset for PSS and SSS can be the same such that legacy user equipment is unaffected or aware of such transmissions.

1. A method used in a wireless communications system, comprising:
identifying a beam within a wireless communications environment; employing a fixed number of phases for the beam; and transmitting at least one of a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) or a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) with the fixed number of phases for the beam; and utilizing the fixed number of phases for the beam to convey information to a User Equipment (UE), wherein the conveyed information is related to a number of antennas deployed in the wireless communication system.
