A method and apparatus are provided for performing acquisition, synchronization and cell selection within an MIMO-OFDM communication system. A coarse synchronization is performed to determine a searching window. A fine synchronization is then performed by measuring correlations between subsets of signal...http://www.google.com/patents/US7912012?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7912012 - Method and system for performing cell selection for OFDM communications
