Experiments on Fast Cell Search Algorithm Using Scrambling Code Masking for Inter-Cell Asynchronous W-CDMA System

摘要

This paper presents the fast cell search time performance based on laboratory and field experiments of a 2- step cell search algorithm that uses scrambling code masking for inter-cell asynchronous wideband DS-CDMA (W-CDMA) mobile radio. The scrambling code is masked at different time positions during each scrambling period on the forward-link common con- trol channel (CDH) to detect the scrambling code timing at the mobile receiver.
