Abstract:
An infrastructure equipment forming part of a mobile communications network includes a transmitter configured to transmit signals to communications devices via a wireless access interface, a receiver configured to receive signals transmitted from the communications devices via the wireless access interface, and a controller. The controller controls the transmitter and receiver across a first frequency bandwidth divided in time into plural frames, to form one of plural cells of the mobile communications network, each cell allocated a cell identifier by the mobile communications network. The controller and transmitter transmit in one or more of the frames a synchronization sequence providing an indication of one of the cell identifiers. A relative temporal location of the synchronization sequence within the frame provides the communications devices with an indication of the cell identifier which can be combined with detecting the synchronization sequence to improve estimate of the cell identifier for the cell.
