The invention discloses a downlink synchronous method, downlink synchronous equipment and a downlink synchronous
system applied to long-term evolution. The method comprises the following steps of: acquiring a maximum joint correlation value in
SSS symbols corresponding to
multiple modes by using a determined grouping detection range of a PSS symbol, determining that the mode corresponding to the maximum joint correlation value is a
current mode, determining the PSS symbol by using a timing point of the
SSS symbols corresponding to the acquired maximum joint correlation value and the
current mode, and acquiring a sector number in the PSS symbol; and performing
frequency offset compensation on the PSS symbol and the
SSS symbols, then transforming the SSS symbols to a
frequency domain, descrambling the SSS symbols according to the sector number, and acquiring LTE frame timing and a
cell group number in the SSS symbols. The method saves the overhead of the
system and determines the running load of the
system by detecting the corresponding SSS symbols in four
modes in the grouping detection range of the PSS symbol, determining one mode as the
current mode and then performing related detection aiming at the mode.
