Abstract  Abstract

For wireless networks that transmit synchronization signals allowing user equipment to synchronize to cells within the network and transmit reference signals allowing user equipment to determine cell identities a method and apparatus taught herein advantageously link the synchronization signal sequences to the reference signal sequences according to a defined mapping. The linkingsimplifies the cell search process by allowing user equipment to determine cell identities based on mapping detected synchronization signal sequences to the corresponding reference signal or to the corresponding subset of referencesignals in embodiments where there are more reference signal sequences than synchronization signal sequences.In at least one embodiment the network is a 3G LTE network and at least the Primary Synchronization Signal(P-SyS) sequences are linked to the Downlink (DL) reference symbol sequences according to a defined mapping thereby allowing to user equipment to determine cell identities from detected P-SySsequences.
