Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses for communication devices. An apparatus for a communication device includes control circuitry configured to determine a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a constant amplitude zero autocorrelation waveform (CAZAC) sequence appended with zeros in the time domain to generate a frequency domain interpolated CAZAC sequence. The control circuitry is also configured to determine an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) of the frequency domain interpolated CAZAC sequence to generate a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), and cause the DMRS to be transmitted through a cellular data network. An apparatus for a communication device includes control circuitry configured to perform a Fourier transform on a received DMRS to obtain a resulting signal, and use the resulting signal as a reference to demodulate orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The control circuitry is also configured to perform a minimum mean squares estimation (MMSE) channel estimation on the resulting signal.

Abstract: Devices and methods of using xSS are generally disclosed. A UE receives an xPSS with (Nrep) symbols each with a subcarrier spacing of K×a PSS subcarrier spacing and a duration of a PSS symbol/K. PSD subcarriers surround the xPSS and the ZC sequence is punctured to avoid transmission on a DC subcarrier. Guard subcarriers separate the xPSS and PSD when the ZC sequence is less than the occupied BW of the xPSS and at least one element in the ZC sequence is punctured for xPSS symbol generation otherwise. One or more xSSSs and xS-SCHs may follow the xPSS. The xSS may be omnidirectional, each having a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH or a different xPSS and same xSSS or xS-SCH or beamformed, each having different xPSSs and xSSSs or xS-SCHs or a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH.
