Claim Text:
1. A cell search method, applied to a wireless communication system to perform cell search synchronization, frame signals of the wireless communication system comprising a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame, both of the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame comprising a first regular timeslot and a down pilot timeslot; the cell search method comprising: determining whether a length of an actual synchronization search window is smaller than a length of a first synchronization search window, wherein the length of the first synchronization search window is a sum of a length of the first sub-frame and a length of the first regular timeslot and the down pilot timeslot of the second sub-frame; and when the length of the actual synchronization search window is smaller than the length of the first synchronization search window, duplicating a part of data carried in the first regular timeslot and the down pilot timeslot of the second sub-frame to before the actual synchronization search window, or duplicating a part of data carried in the first regular timeslot and the down pilot timeslot of the first sub-frame to after the actual synchronization search window, such that a sum of a length of the duplicated data and the length of the actual synchronization search window is not smaller than the length of the first synchronization search window.
