Non-uniform transmission of synchronization signals
The base station that is configured to transmit in a beamformed manner may set different transmission rates for different directions of the beams. During an initial access stage, the base station may set different transmission rates for different transmission directions, and may transmit initial access signals based on the transmission rates in the different transmission directions The apparatus may be a base station. The base station determines transmission rates for a plurality of transmission directions, where each transmission rate is determined for a respective transmission direction of the plurality of transmission directions. The base station transmits at least one initial access signal in each of one or more of the plurality of transmission directions based on a corresponding transmission rate of the transmission rates.
