TECHNIQUES FOR REDUCING A CELL IDENTIFICATION FALSING RATE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A technique of operating a wireless communication device (600) includes selecting, from a primary sequence group that includes respective primary sequences, one of the respective primary sequences as a first portion of a cell identification (ID) (604). In this case, the respective primary sequences are each associated with respective secondary sequence subgroups included in a secondary sequence group. Each of the respective secondary sequence subgroups include secondary sequences. One of the secondary sequences is selected (from one of the respective secondary sequence subgroups that is associated with the selected one of the respective primary sequences) for a second portion of the cell ID (606). At least some of the secondary sequences are only included in one of the respective secondary sequence subgroups. The first portion of the cell ID is encoded on a first downlink waveform that is to be transmitted (608) and the second portion of the cell ID is encoded on a second downlink waveform that is to be transmitted (610). The first and second downlink waveforms are then transmitted (612).
