Abstract

A cell searching apparatus and method in a mobile communication system. In the cell searching method, a base station group specific code is determined from a synchronization channel signal in synchronization with slot time. Then, the predetermined base station group specific symbol cyclically reads a base station group specific code table. A code with a minimum distance estimation value with respect to a base station group specific code read from the base station group specific code table is chosen as a final base station group specific code.
