Claim One:
1. A method for communication in a wireless communication device, comprising: performing a plurality of iterations, of an iterative multiple frequency hypothesis testing (MFHT), the iterative MFHT including: multiplying, by the wireless communication device, a signal, having a primary synchronization sequence (PSS) and a secondary synchronization sequence (SSS), with a plurality of iterative frequency offset hypotheses tests to provide a plurality of frequency offset hypotheses, the plurality of iterative frequency offset hypotheses corresponding to a plurality of frequency offsets; and concurrently selecting, by the wireless communication device, a candidate PSS from at least one of the plurality of frequency offset hypotheses to determine a frequency offset estimation, and decoding a candidate SSS from the at least one of the plurality of frequency offset hypotheses using the candidate PSS for a cell group information identification within each iteration of the MFHT.
