Abstract
A cell search apparatus and method in a W-CDMA mobile communication system. The cell search apparatus and method performs a first cell search step, a second cell search step, and a third cell search step using a slot count value and a lower count value, counted by an index counter after being initialized upon power up of a UE (User Equipment), thereby determining a scrambling code for a Node B. Further, the cell search apparatus and method manages neighboring Node Bs by performing a multipath search.
