Abstract:
1. A method of performing cell search in a mobile station of a wireless communication system, the method comprising: detecting a first synchronization sequence from a frame including a plurality of first synchronization sequences having the same sequence and a plurality of second synchronization sequences having different sequences; detecting at least one second synchronization sequence from the frame; specifying a first part of cell identifiers used in the wireless communication system, based on the detected first synchronization sequence; specifying a second part of the cell identifiers based on the detected second synchronization sequence; and detecting, by a cell identifier detecting unit, a cell identifier by a combination of the first part and the second part, in order to identify a cell, wherein the frame comprises a plurality of sync blocks, each of the sync blocks includes a first symbol that has one of the first synchronization sequences and a second symbol that has one of the second synchronization sequences, each of the sync blocks corresponds to a repetition cycle of the first synchronization sequence, and one of the first symbols and one of the second symbols are directly adjacent to each other in each of the sync blocks, wherein each of the second synchronization sequences individually specifies the second part, and the first synchronization sequences further carry symbol timing information.
