Abstract: A wireless system broadcasts data in frames, each frame having F slots. Output from a matched filter is used to combine K slots to generate profile data, where K is less than F. N peak values respectively from n peak positions are selected from the profile data, where n is greater than one. A correlator is employed, together with the n peak positions and S slots subsequent the K slots, to generate n×S correlation values. Respective combination values for the n peak positions are generated by coherently combining the correlation values, and combining the coherent combination results with the non-coherent n peak values. The combination values are respectively used to generate SNR values for each of the n peak positions. The peak position having the best respective SNR value is then selected as a slot synchronization position.

Abstract: A wireless device generates a peak profile for a primary synchronization channel (PSCH), and has a synchronization stage for performing code group identification and scrambling code identification. A first peak from the peak profile is chosen. The first peak has a first path position and an unknown associated code group number. The synchronization stage is handed the first path position to obtain a first code group number associated with the first peak and a first code number associated with the first peak. A multi-path search window is then opened in the peak profile around the first path position. A second peak within the multi-path search window is selected, and a verification procedure is performed on this second peak to determine if the second peak has a code number that is identical to the first code number. The first code group number is assigned to the second peak if the verification procedure determines that the code number of the second peak is identical to the first code number.
