First Claim
1. A method of facilitating a receiver to perform synchronization to a secondary component carrier in a wireless communication system, the secondary component carrier being aggregated with a primary component carrier in the wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- obtaining side information of the secondary component carrier;
utilizing the side information to reduce occurrences of a number of synchronization hypotheses in a hypothesis test in the case that synchronization to the secondary component carrier is performed; and
determining symbol timing synchronization of the secondary component carrier in accordance with the reduced occurrences of the number of the synchronization hypotheses.

Abstract
A receiver performs synchronization to a secondary component carrier in a wireless communication system. The secondary component carrier is aggregated with a primary component carrier in the wireless communication system. Side information of the secondary component carrier is utilized to reduce occurrences of a number of synchronization hypotheses in a hypothesis test in the case that synchronization to the secondary component carrier is performed. Symbol timing synchronization of the secondary component carrier is determined in accordance with the reduced occurrences of the number of synchronization hypotheses.
