Abstract

The UMTS-FDD system, one of the members of the ITU IMT-2000 third generation standard for terrestrial cellular systems, employs pruned Golay sequences to enable initial synchronisation of the mobile terminals to the network. In this paper a low complexity solution for initial synchronisation is proposed, which is able to counteract the performance degradation introduced by large frequency offsets occurring in the mobile station receiver. Simulation results are provided to validate the proposed solution.
