Claim Text:
1. A method of performing cell search by a mobile station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a downlink transmission from a base station; detecting a first primary synchronization sequence contained in the downlink transmission, wherein the downlink transmission comprises a plurality of subframes sequentially arranged in time domain, each of the plurality of subframes containing a plurality of symbols sequentially arranged in time domain, wherein a first subframe in the downlink transmission includes a first symbol representing the first primary synchronization sequence; detecting a first secondary synchronization sequence contained in the downlink transmission, wherein a second subframe in the downlink transmission includes a second symbol representing the first secondary synchronization sequence; determining a first indicator based on the first primary synchronization sequence; determining a second indicator based on the first secondary synchronization sequence; determining a cell identifier based on the first indicator and the second indicator; and communicating with the base station, wherein the cell identifier identifies a cell of the base station, wherein the first subframe includes a third symbol representing a second secondary synchronization sequence, the third symbol being directly adjacent to the first symbol, and wherein the second subframe includes a fourth symbol representing a second primary synchronization sequence, the fourth symbol being directly adjacent to the second symbol.
