    Abstract: Beam-steered millimeter wave signals transmitted in each of n sector slices include a sequence of primary synchronization (PSCH) symbols within predetermined symbol positions in at least one slot of a subframe. The symbols in consecutive symbol positions are each transmitted on a different one of the n slices, with the first symbol repeated on the same slice at the end. The sequence order rotates cyclically in each subframe so that two PSCH symbols are transmitted on one slice in a single subframe every nth subframe. Secondary synchronization (SSCH) and Broadcast Channel (BCH) symbols are transmitted in a predetermined pattern following the sequence of PSCH symbols. By transmitting consecutive PSCH symbols on different slices and repeating the first symbol, the mobile station can detect the best slice and beam by switching receive beams every subframe instead of every slot, relaxing time constraints on AGC adjustment while avoiding the start-at-the-edge problem.

    Abstract: A method for a transceiver calibration and antenna array operation in a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system.

    Abstract: To reduce the duration of a cyclic prefix used for a multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) communications channel, delay spread variations for different transmit/receive beam pair combination is estimated and used for fast beam switching and to support single user MIMO (SU-MIMO) even when the CP difference between two beams is large. Beam switching reference signals are employed to estimate delay spread exceeding current CP, and to support beam switching. CP covering sub-clusters within clusters for the MIMO channel are exploited to reduce the CP requirement and improve efficiency. Any one of a number of different CP durations may be selected for each different mobile station, using one of a finite set of subframe configurations for which the CP durations of different symbol locations within the subframe are predefined. Dynamically switching subframe configurations by the system accommodates high mobility.
