A method ( 70 ) of operating a wireless receiver (UST). The method receives a wireless communicated signal, wherein the signal comprises a first synchronization channel component. The method also correlates a synchronization channel value (PSC) to the signal to produce a plurality of correlation samples in response to a correlation between the synchronization channel value and the signal. Further, the method compares ( 72 ) the plurality of correlation samples to a threshold (tau) and stores as a first set of correlation samples selected ones of the plurality of correlation samples that exceed the threshold and are within a first time sample period, wherein each of the correlation samples in the first set has a corresponding sample time relative to the first time sample period. Finally, the method combines ( 74 ) a second set of correlation samples with the first set of correlation samples.
