Abstract:
Synchronization signal numerology of a communications system is determined, on the basis of at least two reference numerologies. Time occasions comprising including synchronization signals are determined on the basis of a first reference numerology of the at least two reference numerologies for synchronization signal numerologies. Positions of the synchronization signals within the determined time occasions are determined on the basis of a second reference numerology of the at least two reference numerologies. Positions of the synchronization signals according to the synchronization signal numerology are determined at least on the basis of the determined time occasions and the positions within the time occasions. The synchronization signals are received at the determined positions. In this way, the synchronization signal block duration may be extended in time and/or the number of synchronization signal blocks may be increased without introducing a need for a new numerology for synchronization signal numerologies.
