ABSTRACT:
Ascertaining which one of a number of cells of a cellular communication system transmitted an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal involves obtaining reference symbols from the OFDM signal. Compensating phase shift values for phase aligning the plurality of reference symbols are estimated and used to generate phase corrected reference symbols. At least two scrambling code sequences are applied to the phase corrected reference symbols to obtain at least two de-scrambled phase corrected reference symbol sequences, wherein each of the scrambling codes is associated with a respectively different one of the cells of the cellular communication system. A power value of each of the de-scrambled phase corrected reference symbol sequences is ascertained. That one of the scrambling codes that is associated with a highest one of the power values is ascertained, thereby ascertaining which one of the number of cells of the cellular communication system transmitted the OFDM signal.
