The insertion ofsounding symbols is illustrated in Figure 5-15.5.2.6.3 <strong>Multi</strong>-Antenna TransmissionThe mobile terminals transmit only with a single antenna. <strong>Multi</strong>-user MIMO reception ispossible at the base station. Optionally, a closed-loop transmit antenna selection diversitycan be implemented for the FDD mode.5.2.7 Physical Layer Procedures5.2.7.1 Cell SearchThe cell search procedure allows the mobile terminal (UE) to find <strong>and</strong> identify a potentialcell that it can use for communications after switching on the mobile terminal. For thispurpose a primary <strong>and</strong> a secondary synchronization signal are transmitted in the downlinkon a regular basis. The synchronization signals are inserted in the last two <strong>OFDM</strong> symbolsof the first slot of the first <strong>and</strong> sixth sub-frame of a 10 ms radio frame (see Figure 5-7).In a first step the mobile terminal synchronizes to the primary synchronization signal.This allows synchronizing on a 5 ms basis. In the second step, the ambiguity with twoprimary synchronization signals in one radio frame is resolved by observing the secondsynchronization signal. The unique combination of the primary <strong>and</strong> secondary synchronizationsignals allows the mobile terminal to finally detect the broadcasted cell specificinformation.In order to simplify the cell search procedure, the b<strong>and</strong>width of the synchronizationsignals is constant <strong>and</strong> independent of the b<strong>and</strong>width actually used in the specific cell.
