Abstract:
1. A method in a user equipment having a transceiver in a wireless telecommunication system, the method comprising: acquiring, using the transceiver, synchronization to first radio frame boundaries of a first physical channel from a cell; attempting to decode frames of a second physical channel that has second radio frame boundaries that are a multiple of the first radio frame boundaries; performing a cyclic redundancy check on the frames of the second physical channel; extracting predictable information, including a cell system frame number, from a payload from frames that fail the cyclic redundancy check; determining a difference between the cell system frame number and a local system frame number; validating the cell system frame number if the difference between the cell system frame number and the local system frame number is similar over a plurality of frames; and synchronizing to the cell by transmitting a measurement report for the cell if the cell system frame number is validated.
