Step 1: Slot synchronization

the UE uses the primary

synchronization
code (PSC) to acquire slot
synchronization to a cell.

Step 2: Frame synchronization and

code-group identification
During the second step of the cell
search procedure, the UE uses the
secondary
synchronisation code (SSC) to find
frame synchronisation and identify
the code group of the
cell found in the first step.
Step 3: PSC identification
The primary scrambling code is
typically identified through symbolby-symbol correlation over the
CPICH with all codes within the
code group identified in the second
step.

* The UE can get system information from PCCPCH, and the PLMN information is
transmitted in MIB of PCCPCH therefore it can judge whether the current PLMN is right

In idle mode, UE will be identified by IMSI, TMSI or PTMSI and so on.

In connected mode, UE will be identified by URNTI (UTRAN Radio Network
Temporary
Identity), which is the ID of one RRC connection.
