Patent ID: RE43186

Claim:
A method of correlating identifying transmission data received from cellular transmitting devices, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a first stream of transmission data having a first received signal frequency for a first period of time; correlating comparing the first transmission data against a signal template plurality of predetermined burst structures to identify a first FCCH burst frame , the predetermined burst structures comprising at least one burst structure that includes a plurality of fixed bits in succession that indicate a training sequence ; identifying first FCCH time data corresponding to the first FCCH burst frame; receiving a second stream of transmission data having a second received signal frequency for a second period of time; correlating comparing the second transmission data against a signal template plurality of predetermined burst structures to identify a second FCCH burst frame , the predetermined burst structures comprising at least one burst structure that includes a plurality of fixed bits in succession that indicate a training sequence ; identifying second FCCH time data corresponding to the second FCCH burst frame; and analyzing the first FCCH time data and the second FCCH time data to determine whether the first FCCH time data correlates to the second FCCH time data the first FCCH burst frame, the second FCCH burst frame, the first FCCH time data, and the second FCCH time data to determine if the identified first and second FCCH burst frames corresponds to the training sequence that identifies the cellular transmitting device and turning in and locking to a broad cast control channel used by the cellular transmitting device contained within the identified first and second FCCH burst frames; and identifying the cellular transmitting device by the broad cast control channel .
