Abstract

A technique for cell-identity detection is provided. In one method embodiment, at least one cell-identity in a cellular telecommunication network is determined. The method comprises the steps of receiving a synchronization signal, calculating first correlations and second correlations as well as determining the at least one cell-identity. The received synchronization signal includes a first partial signal and a second partial signal. The first correlations are calculated between the first partial signal and first reference signals, each of which indicates one or more first cell-identities. The second correlations are calculated between the second partial signal and second reference signals, each of which indicates one or more cell-identities out of the first cell-identities. The second reference signals are selected depending on the first correlations. The cell-identity is determined based on the second correlations. The complexity for cell-identity detection is reduced by the technique.
