Abstract

A mobile station using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). The frequency processing circuitry and the processor of the mobile station are configured to scan spectral bands for a first signal. The first signal having synchronization and cell identification information, and is received in a first band of a cell having a full bandwidth. The first band being within a first bandwidth part and the first bandwidth part being a portion of the full bandwidth of a cell that comprises a plurality of bandwidth parts. Further, the frequency processing circuitry and the processor configured to receive and process signals in the first bandwidth part and configured to switch to receive and process a second bandwidth part, the second bandwidth part being different frequency size than the first bandwidth part.

Claims (25)

1. A mobile station using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), the mobile station comprising:

frequency processing circuitry; and

a processor, wherein:

the frequency processing circuitry and the processor are configured to scan spectral bands for a first signal, the first signal being a broadcast signal having bandwidth information, the first signal received in a first bandwidth of cell and using a first Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size;

the frequency processing circuitry and the processor configured to receive and process the broadcast signal in the first bandwidth; and

the frequency processing circuitry and the processor configured to switch to receive and process a second bandwidth using a second FFT size, the second bandwidth being of different frequency size than the first bandwidth and the second FFT size being the same as the first FFT size.

2. The mobile station of claim 1 wherein the second bandwidth has a different OFDM symbol duration than the first bandwidth.

3. The mobile station of claim 2 wherein the second bandwidth has a different sampling frequency than the first bandwidth.

4. The mobile station of claim 1 wherein the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth have a same subcarrier spacing.

5. A method performed by a mobile station, the method comprising:

scanning spectral bands for a first signal, the first signal being a broadcast signal having bandwidth information, the first signal received in a first bandwidth of cell and using a first Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size;

receiving and processing the broadcast signals in a first bandwidth; and

switching to receiving and processing a second bandwidth using a second FFT size, the second bandwidth being different frequency size than the first bandwidth and the second FFT size being the same as the first FFT size.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the second bandwidth has a different OFDM symbol duration than the first bandwidth.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the second bandwidth has a different sampling frequency than the first bandwidth.

8. The method of claim 5 wherein the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth have a same subcarrier spacing.

9. A base station comprising:

frequency processing circuitry; and

a processor, wherein:

the frequency processing circuitry and the processor are configured to transmit a first signal, the first signal being a broadcast signal having bandwidth information, the first signal is transmitted in a first bandwidth of cell and using a first Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size;

the frequency processing circuitry and the processor configured to transmit and process the broadcast signals in the first bandwidth; and

the frequency processing circuitry and the processor configured to switch to transmit using a second bandwidth using a second FFT size for a mobile station, the second bandwidth being of different frequency size than the first bandwidth and the second FFT size being the same as the first FFT size.

10. The base station of claim 9 wherein the second bandwidth has a different OFDM symbol duration than the first bandwidth.

11. The base station of claim 10 wherein the second bandwidth has a different sampling frequency than the first bandwidth.

12. The base station of claim 9 wherein the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth have a same subcarrier spacing.
