Abstract
Methods and systems are described for determining a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and coding rate for an intercell signal in an LTE network. In one aspect, a plurality of potential RNTIs (that is a subset of all available RNTIs) associated with a received intercell signal is determined. A first signal based on a first potential combination of a one of the plurality of RNTIs and a coding rate is processed by a first decoder. Whether the first potential combination includes a correct RNTI and coding rate combination for the received intercell signal is determined based on at least one metric for the processed first signal. A second signal based on a second potential combination of a one of the plurality of RNTIs and a coding rate is processed by a second decoder if the first potential combination does not include the correct RNTI and coding rate combination.
