How Cell Search in wcdma – initial Synchronization Procedure

Cell Search Procedure purpose is to give the UE the possibility of finding a wcdma cell and of determining the downlink scrambling code and frame synchronization of that wcdma cell. This is typically performed in 3 steps: PSCH (Slot synchronization): The UE uses the SCH’s primary synchronization code to acquire slot synchronization to a wcdma … Read more

PLMN Selection procedure and criteria in LTE UE

PLMN Selection Process in LTE The UE scans all RF channels in the UTRAN band according to its capabilities to find available PLMNs. On each carrier, the UE searches for the strongest cell according to the cell search procedure (refer cell searching) and read its system information in order to find out which PLMN the … Read more
