  • Code group acquisition procedure for a UMTS-FDD receiver
    Patent number: 7369577
    Abstract: Step 2 demodulation is conventionally performed using a secondary synchronization channel that correlates a received signal at a known time slot location against each of a plurality of sequences associated with the secondary synchronization code. The disclosed implementation proposes the use of a different synchronization channel to complete the step 2 process. More specifically, a complete synchronization channel correlator is used for the demodulation where the received signal at the known time slot location is correlated against a combination of the primary synchronization code and each of the plurality of secondary synchronization codes. This combined correlation produces enhanced step 2 performance in terms of acquisition time or signal-to-noise ratio.
