Abstract
A method and apparatus for improved cell detection in a cellular communication system correlates a received signal with both a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal. The results from the primary and secondary synchronization detection are used to determine if a new cell has been found. By also including the secondary synchronization signal during the cell detection procedure, the rate of false detection can be reduced while still maintaining detection performance. In addition, a longer standby time can be achieved for the user terminal.
