Claim Text:
1. A method for communication, the method comprising: identifying a primary synchronization sequence; identifying a secondary synchronization sequence and another secondary synchronization sequence that is different from the secondary synchronization sequence, and the secondary synchronization sequence and the another secondary synchronization sequence are associated with a cell identifier; transmitting the primary synchronization sequence in center subcarriers in a first Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol; transmitting the secondary synchronization sequence in the center subcarriers in a second OFDM symbol, the second OFDM symbol being adjacent to the first OFDM symbol; transmitting the primary synchronization sequence in a third OFDM symbol; and transmitting the another secondary synchronization sequence in a fourth OFDM symbol, wherein one of the first and second OFDM symbols in the frame is adjacent to one of the third and fourth OFDM symbols in the frame, and wherein the center subcarriers are part of a system bandwidth, a part of the center subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol is not used for transmission of the primary synchronization sequence, and a part of the center subcarriers in the second OFDM symbol is not used for transmission of the secondary synchronization sequence.
