Abstract

A pilot structure, a method, and a receiver for multi-carrier cellular communications communication system include a network element and a user equipment. The network element is configured to transmit a pilot sequence. The user equipment is configured to detect a pilot sequence comprising a primary synchronization sequence at predetermined number of sub-frames at a center of a bandwidth, a primary common pilot for each sub-frame, and short system information once per frame at the center of the bandwidth, and to decode the short system information to identify system frame timing and a system bandwidth of a cell.
