Abstract

A method for allocating secondary synchronization codes to a base station of a mobile telecommunications system. The method includes the steps of calculating and evaluating the auto-correlation functions and/or cross-correlation functions of N possible secondary synchronization codes (SSC) and the primary synchronization code (PSC) and choosing the M secondary synchronization codes (SSC) amongst the N possible secondary synchronization codes (SSC) so that the M chosen secondary synchronization codes (SSC) have at least one of the statistical properties of their auto-correlation function and cross-correlation function that is best in term of detection. A sub-set of the M secondary synchronization codes (SSC) including K secondary synchronization codes (SSC) is allocated to the base station.
