`
`Authorization or Opt-Out of Authorization to Permit Access:
`
`When this Application Data Sheet is properly signed and filed with the application, applicant has provided written
`authority to permit a participating foreign intellectual property (IP) office access to the instant application-as-filed (see
`paragraph Ain subsection 1 below) and the European Patent Office (EPO) access to any search results from the instant
`application (see paragraph B in subsection 1 below).
`
`Should applicant choose not to provide an authorization identified in subsection 1 below, applicant must opt-out of the
`authorization by checking the corresponding box A or B or both in subsection 2 below.
`
`NOTE: This section of the Application Data Sheet is ONLY reviewed and processed with the INITIAL filing of an

`MULTIPLEXING INITIAL ACCESS AND DATA TRANSMISSIONS IN
`
`ASSISTED MILLIMETER WA VE SYSTEMS
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`[0001]
`
`Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and
`
`more particularly, to a base station (BS) assisting a user equipment (UE) in establishing
`
`initial access with another BS.
`
`[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various
`
`telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts.
`
`Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies
`
`capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system
`
`resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power).
`
`Examples of such multiple-access
`
`technologies include Long Term Evolution (L TE) systems, code division multiple
`
`access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency
`
`division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple
`
`access
`
`(OFDMA)
`
`systems,
`
`single-carrier
`
`frequency division multiple access
`
`(SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous code division multiple access
`
`(TD-SCDMA) systems.
`
`[0003]
`
`In some examples, a wireless multiple-access communication system may
`
`include a number of base stations, each simultaneously supporting communication for
`
`multiple communication devices, otherwise known as user equipment (UEs). In LTE or
`
`LTE-A network, a set of one or more base stations may define an eNodeB (eNB).
`
`In other examples (e.g., in a next generation or 5G network), a wireless multiple access
`
`communication system may include a number of distributed units (DUs) (e.g., edge
`
`units (EUs), edge nodes (ENs), radio heads (RHs), smart radio heads (SRHs),
`
`transmission reception points (TRPs), etc.) in communication with a number of central
`
`units (CUs) (e.g., central nodes (CNs), access node controllers (ANCs), etc.), where a
`
`set of one or more distributed units, in communication with a central unit, may define an
`
`access node (e.g., a new radio base station (NR BS), a new radio node-B (NR NB), a
`
`network node, 5G NB, gNB, etc.). A base station or DU may communicate with a set of
`
`UEs on downlink channels (e.g., for transmissions from a base station or to a UE) and
`
`uplink channels (e.g., for transmissions from a UE to a base station or distributed unit).

`
`These multiple access
`
`technologies have been adopted
`
`in vanous
`
`telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different
`
`wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global
`
`level. An example of an emerging telecommunication standard is new radio (NR), for
`
`example, 5G radio access. NR is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard
`
`promulgated by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). It is designed to better
`
`support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering
`
`costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with
`
`other open standards using OFDMA with a cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL) and
`
`on the uplink (UL) as well as support beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output
`
`(MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation.
`
`[0005]
`
`However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase,
`
`there exists a need for further improvements in NR technology. Preferably, these
`
`improvements should be applicable to other multi-access technologies and the
`
`telecommunication standards that employ these technologies.
`
`BRIEF SUMMARY
`
`[0006]
`
`The systems, methods, and devices of the disclosure each have several
`
`aspects, no single one of which is solely responsible for its desirable attributes. Without
`
`limiting the scope of this disclosure as expressed by the claims which follow, some
`
`features will now be discussed briefly. After considering this discussion, and
`
`particularly after reading the section entitled "Detailed Description" one will understand
`
`how the features of this disclosure provide advantages
`
`that include improved
`
`communications between access points and stations in a wireless network.
`
`[0007]
`
`Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for
`
`assisting a UE in performing initial access to a BS. As described herein, a first BS may
`
`communicate, in a first time interval, with at least a first user equipment (UE), via
`
`directional transmissions using a first set of frequency resources and participate in initial
`
`access, during the first time interval, with at least a second UE, via directional
`
`transmissions using a second set of frequency resources.

`
`Aspects generally include methods, apparatus, systems, computer readable
`
`mediums, and processing systems, as substantially described herein with reference to
`
`and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
`
`[0009]
`
`To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the one or more
`
`aspects comprise the features hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in
`
`the claims. The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail
`
`certain illustrative features of the one or more aspects. These features are indicative,
`
`however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of various aspects
`
`may be employed, and this description is intended to include all such aspects and their
`
`equivalents.
`
`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

`So that the manner in which the above-recited features of the present
`

`
`appended drawings.
`
`It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate
`
`only certain typical aspects of this disclosure and are therefore not to be considered
`
`limiting of its scope, for the description may admit to other equally effective aspects.
