Claim Text:
1. A method of synchronization in a communication system, comprising: generating, by a transmitter, a signal with a centrally symmetric part s(k) exploitable for synchronization between the transmitter and a receiver; and sending, by a transmitter, the signal to the receiver over a communication channel; wherein the signal is based on a uniquely identifiable sequence c(l) from a set of sequences exploitable for information transmission from the transmitter to the receiver, the centrally symmetric part s(k) is centrally symmetric in a shape of absolute value thereof, and the centrally symmetric part s(k) is of length N, and wherein the centrally symmetric part s(k) comprises two parts, the first part of the two parts does not have a symmetrical counterpart, and the second part of the two parts has N−1 centrally symmetric samples, and the sequence c(l) is a Zadoff-Chu sequence defined as
