1. A method, comprising:

generating a set of synchronization signals including first and second synchronization signals;

transmitting the first synchronization signal using a first spatial filter; and

transmitting the second synchronization signal using a second spatial filter,

wherein the first synchronization signal is a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and the second synchronization signal is a secondary synchronization signal (SSS),

wherein the first spatial filter includes a larger spatial coverage than the second spatial filter, and

wherein one or more symbols are configured between the first and second synchronization signals.
