Abstract
Presented herein is a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system that supports higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication systems. In particular, methods and systems for performing cell search in a millimeter wave (mmWave) based communication network are presented. A method disclosed herein includes selecting a subset of receive (Rx) beams from a plurality of Rx beams and scheduling a scan order for the selected subset of Rx beams, upon receiving a plurality of signals from a Base Station. The method also includes performing a cell search using the selected subset of Rx beams individually in the determined scan order. The method further includes combining two or more of the selected Rx beams, upon failing the cell search using the selected subset of Rx beams individually. The method further includes performing the cell search using the combined Rx beams.
