Abstract:
1. A method for use in a wireless communication receiver for receiving an orthogonal frequency domain multiple access (OFDMA) signal comprising a plurality of resource blocks, the wireless communication receiver including a controller and receiver circuitry, the method comprising the steps of: the receiver circuitry receiving the OFDMA signal which includes a synchronization channel signal comprising a plurality of synchronization channel signal sequence elements including a first set of synchronization channel signal sequence elements and a second set of synchronization channel signal sequence elements, wherein the first set of synchronization channel signal sequence elements are derived in response to a modification of a general chirp like (GCL) sequence that fits a predetermined channel size of the OFDMA signal and is defined in response to first partial cell identification information associated with a base station that transmitted the OFDMA signal, and wherein the second set of synchronization channel signal sequence elements is based on a cyclically shifted maximal length binary sequence with a cyclic shift of the maximal length binary sequence defined in response to second partial cell identification information associated with the base station; and the controller detecting the synchronization channel signal within a first set of the plurality of resource blocks.
