Wireless communication devices are adapted to facilitate multiple synchronization channels within a single carrier. In some examples, an apparatus for wireless communication may transmit a first synchronization channel at a first frequency in a carrier bandwidth, and at least one additional synchronization channel at a different respective frequency in the carrier bandwidth. In some examples, an apparatus for wireless communication may scan a carrier bandwidth for one of a plurality of synchronization channels conveyed at different respective frequencies in the carrier bandwidth, and discover a synchronization channel from among the plurality of synchronization channels. The apparatus may further receive information conveyed over the discovered synchronization channel and utilize the information to access the carrier. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
