Signal transmission method, signal detection method and apparatuses thereof and communication system
A signal transmission method, signal detection method and apparatuses thereof and communication system. The signal transmission apparatus includes a transmitting unit configured to transmit a synchronization signal (SS) block to a user equipment within a time window of a predetermined position in an SS block transmission period. Hence, UE cell search and measurement time is reduced, complexity at the UE is lowered, power consumption of the UE is lowered, cell handover is sped up, communication interruption is avoided, and currently at least one of existing problems is solved.
1. A terminal comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive, from a first network device, an indication information relating to a predetermined position of a time window for a first synchronization signal (SS) block from a plurality of predetermined positions of the time window, the predetermined position being indicated by a period of a transmission of the first SS block and a time length from a starting position of the period,
receive the first SS block from the first network device or a second SS block from a second network device within the time window of the predetermined position in the period, wherein
the indication information relating to the predetermined position is included in measurement timing information that is transfer from the first network device to the second network device of a neighboring cell.
