Abstract
A Process for achieving slot synchronization of the P-SCH sequence in a UMTS communication system, involving the step of receiving () said signal including a synchronization sequence (P-SCH); performing a correlation () of each received sample with a known synchronization sequence (P-SCH) in order to generate a correlation profile; determining () the level of noise and computing a first threshold; suppressing () any peaks within said correlation profile having a magnitude inferior to said first threshold; detecting () the persistent local maximum peaks over a period of N slots; applying a predetermined mask positioned with respect to said persistent peaks and associated to at least one second threshold value distinctive from said first threshold.
