Claim:
1. A communication apparatus, comprising: a radio frequency (RF) signal processing device, for processing a plurality of RF signals received from a cell and converting the RF signals into a plurality of baseband signals; and a baseband signal processing device, for processing the baseband signals based on a local time base after synchronization between a timing of the local time base and a timing of the cell is completed, wherein the baseband signal processing device further retrieves a predetermined synchronization signal from the baseband signals and retrieves a predetermined reference signal, and adjusts the timing of the local time base based on the predetermined synchronization signal and the predetermined reference signal to align a frame boundary of the local time base with a frame boundary of the cell after a cell search procedure, and wherein the predetermined synchronization signal is a primary synchronization signal or a secondary synchronization signal.
