Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: capturing, at a user equipment, a plurality of adjacent Universal Mobile Telecommunication System Terrestrial Radio Access Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers (UARFCNs); correlating the plurality of adjacent UARFCNs with a plurality of frequencies; extracting a useful wide band signal from the plurality of frequencies corresponding to the plurality of adjacent UARFCNs; performing a primary synchronization channel (PSCH) search on the useful wide band signal to obtain a composite PSCH signal; and rejecting the plurality UARFCNs in performing a cell search procedure where no peaks greater than or equal to a noise threshold are detected in the composite PSCH signal; wherein the extracting is performed using a wide band receiver, and wherein the plurality of adjacent UARFCNs comprise 2N+1 UARFCNs, where N is a quantity of UARFCNs present in a measurable frequency range greater than or less than a base UARFCN associated with a base frequency at which the wide band receiver is centered.
