The present invention relates to a non-coherent neighbor cell search method for primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS). In order to eliminate the channel response of the home cell, the present invention utilizes the similarity of channel responses at adjacent subcarriers, components at the k.sup.th subcarrier and the (k+1).sup.th subcarrier of the received signal are respectively multiplied by the conjugation of the corresponding local synchronization signal to respectively obtain the k.sup.th product and the (k+1).sup.th product. Afterward, a combination signal is obtained by examining the difference of the k.sup.th product and the (k+1).sup.th product. By mathematical simplification and analysis, the main unknown component of the combination signal is the synchronization signal of neighbor cell, also in a compound form. Thus, the neighbor cell ID can be obtained by performing the correlation operation of the combination signal to the compound reference sequence.

A signal generation method is used in a transmission device that transmits a plurality of transmission signals from a plurality of antennas at the same frequency and at the same time, in the case where larger power change is performed on a first transmission signal than on a second transmission signal during generation process of the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal, the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal are mapped before the power change such that a minimum Euclidian distance between possible signal points for the first signal is longer than a minimum Euclidian distance between possible signal points for the second signal.
