This article presents downlink initial synchronization and cell identification algorithms for long term evolution （LTE） of third-generation （3G） mobile communication systems, which are based on synchronization channel （SCH） and cell specific pilot symbols, respectively. The key features of the proposed scheme are： it can improve performance of the frequency synchronization through oversampling of the SCH, it can support a large number of target cells by modulating a cell-specific pilot sequence over two symbols within a subframe, and it can guarantee cell identification performance by maximally ratio combining the frequency domain differential cross-correlation. Simulations show that the proposed scheme has a potential use in 3G LTE.
The Wide-Sense Stationary Uncorrelated Scattering （WSSUS） model has long been viewed as a basic channel model to describe the fading dispersive channel. But non- WSSUS models have more universal applicability when the wireless mobile channel with broadband is studied with finer and more detailed knowledge of propagation environments. So the four-Dimension （4-D） characteristics of channel, namely time, lag, frequency, and Doppler, should be studied together. In this paper, Wigner-Ville distribution of Time-Frequency （TF） domain is introduced to analyze channel in which the incidence rays are non-stationary and correlated with each other. Several channel models, according to different move modes of incidence rays, with time-varying Doppler shift are designed and 4-D Local Scattering Function （LSF） are computed and simulated respectively. Our simulation results show the LSF present asymmetric and non-periodic TF distri- bution for some symmetric and periodic move modes of incidence rays.
