Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE). A UE may establish a connection with a cell based on an initial access procedure. The UE may also receive a downlink signal from the cell which includes a first cyclic prefix. The UE may transmit an uplink signal with a second cyclic prefix to the cell. The second cyclic prefix may have a different length than the first cyclic prefix.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising: establishing a connection with a cell based on an initial access procedure; receiving a downlink signal from the cell, the downlink signal comprising an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signal or single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) signal, the downlink signal further comprising a first cyclic prefix; estimating a time of arrival of the re…
