Abstract:
In one aspect of the teachings herein, a transmitter transmits synchronization signals according to one or more defined transmission characteristics that enable a receiver to distinguish the type of transmitter and/or the type of carrier used to convey the synchronization signals. Different types of transmitters reuse at least some of the same synchronization signal sequences and generation algorithms, but use different transmission parameters to impart one or more recognizable characteristics to the transmitted synchronization signals. In turn, an appropriately configured receiver “knows” which characteristics are associated with which transmitter and/or carrier types. For example, wireless devices operating in a wireless communication network transmit device-generated synchronization signals that reuse at least some of the same sequences used by network base stations for the transmission of network synchronization signals. However, device-generated synchronization signals are transmitted using a relative positioning or mapping that characteristically differs from that used for network synchronization signals.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of transmitting synchronization signals from a wireless device configured for operation in a wireless communication network, said method comprising:\n generating the synchronization signals using at least a subset of the same sequences used by base stations in the network for generating network synchronization signals; and transmitting the synchronization signals according to a relative positioning that characteristically differs from a relative positioning used for transmitting the network synchronization signals and thereby enabling a receiver to determine that the synchronization signals are device-generated synchronization signals, rather than the network synchronization signals originating from any of the base stations in the wireless communication network.
