Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a fast cell search method using maximum likelihood detection (MLD) based frequency offset estimation for a small cell in Long Term Evolution (LTE) heterogeneous networks. In the proposed cell search method, a set of user equipment (UE) first detects the PSS received timing based on the maximum autocorrelation peak between the received sample signals which are five milliseconds apart. Then, a UE estimates the fractional frequency offset value from the phase rotation between the two consecutive primary synchronization signals (PSSs). After compensating for the fractional frequency offset, a UE detects the accurate frequency offset value and the PSS sequence based on MLD simultaneously. The UE detects the best secondary synchronization signal (SSS) sequence by taking the SSS sequence correlation for the received signal after compensating for the accurate frequency offset. System-level simulation results show that the proposed cell search method achieves a fast initial cell search time within 100 (200) ms to satisfy the cell ID detection probability of 95 % for the carrier frequency of a small cell up to 10 (24) GHz, assuming the free-running frequency error of the UE TCXO of 3 ppm.
