Patent ID: 8923362

Claim:
A method of forming synchronization codes for a wireless communication device, comprising: A. providing a primary synchronization code in response to a first sequence; and B. providing a secondary synchronization code in response to a second sequence and a third sequence of logical one and minus-one values, the third sequence being different from the first sequence; i. the second sequence is selected from a plurality of sequences, each of the plurality of sequences is orthogonal with respect to all other sequences in the plurality of sequences; ii. the second sequence includes a plurality of code words and each of the plurality of code words is selected from a plurality of Hadamard sequences; iii. the second sequence consists of sixteen of the code words; and iv. the third sequence includes a sequence of hits from the first sequence, the sequence of bits from the first sequence is repeated a plurality of times in the third sequence; and C. outputting the primary synchronization code and the secondary synchronization code from synchronization code generator circuitry.
