What is cell search in 5G?

Cell search is the procedure by which a UE acquires time and frequency synchronization with a cell and decode the Cell ID of that cell . In 5G NR, Cell search concept is similar to what it is in LTE in terms of decoding Primary Sync Signal (PSS) and Secondary Sync Signal (SSS) to the Physical Cell ID (PCI).28 Tem 2019

What is cell search in LTE?

Cell searching is a procedure in which a UE achieves time and frequency synchronization with a cell, obtains the physical cell identifier (PCI), and learns the signal quality and other information about the cell based on the PCI. A UE performs cell search on all frequencies before selecting or re-selecting to a cell.
