According to aspects, a method is provided herein for wireless communications that may be performed, for example, by a base station (BS). The method generally includes selecting frequency resources to use for transmitting synchronization signals in a symbol of a frame, wherein the frequency resources are selected based on a mapping of frequency resources to a location of the symbol within the frame; and transmitting synchronization signals to at least one user equipment (UE) according to the mapping. As a result, the UE may receive synchronization signals, determine a location of the current symbol in a frame based on the mapping, and synchronize to the BS based on the determined location of the current symbol. Numerous other aspects are provided."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Location encoding for synchronization signal to convey additional information","description":"Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for location encoding for secondary synchronization signals (SSS) to convey additional information, such as a current symbol number.
