Claim Text:
1. A method for determining a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and coding rate for an intercell signal in a long term evolution (LTE) communications network, the method comprising: determining a plurality of potential RNTIs associated with a received intercell signal, the plurality of potential RNTIs being a subset of all available RNTIs; processing, by a first decoder, a first signal based on a first potential combination of a one of the plurality of RNTIs and a coding rate; determining, based on at least one metric for the processed first signal, whether the first potential combination includes a correct RNTI and coding rate combination for the received intercell signal; and processing, by a second decoder, a second signal based on a second potential combination of a one of the plurality of RNTIs and a coding rate if the first potential combination does not include the correct RNTI and coding rate combination for the received intercell signal.
