The document describes the process of cell search in LTE networks. It involves 7 steps: 1) primary synchronization signal for time/frequency sync and cell ID, 2) secondary synchronization signal for frame sync and cell ID group, 3) downlink reference signals for channel estimation, 4) physical broadcast channel for system parameters, 5) physical control format indicator channel for number of PDCCH symbols, 6) physical downlink control channel for PDSCH resource allocation, and 7) physical downlink shared channel for system information blocks. The overall process enables user equipment to synchronize with the network and select the best cell.
