Synchronization signal options for 5G/new radio

The present disclosure provides an example method and an apparatus for transmitting synchronization signals from an eNB with a different subcarrier spacing from rest of transmissions. That is, a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) may be transmitted using a first subcarrier spacing, a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and/or a reference signal (RS) may be transmitted with a second subcarrier spacing, and other transmissions may be made using a third subcarrier spacing that is different from at least one of the first or second subcarrier spacing. Further, the order of symbols mapped to the synchronization signals may be reversed or otherwise modified within a transmission subframe.
