ACQUISITION IN FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS SYSTEMS

摘要

An apparatus that operates in a wireless communication environment comprises a processor (124) configured to receive a code sequence in a primary synchronization channel (162) that conveys a part of a cell identification code. The processor is further configured to receive one or more code sequences in a secondary synchronization channel (164) that convey the remaining part of the cell identification code. Also disclosed is apparatus that operates in a wireless communication environment comprising a processor (124) configured to transmit a code sequence in a primary synchronization channel (162) that conveys a part of a cell identification code. The processor is further configured to transmit one or more code sequences in a secondary synchronization channel (164) that convey the remaining part of the cell identification code. Also disclosed are methods and computer programs for receiving or transmitting a cell identification code at an user equipment in a wireless communication network.
