	In this study, the authors propose a low-complexity method for symbol synchronisation in the third generation partnership project long term evolution (LTE) downlink system. The authors introduce the lowest sampling frequency of a receiver for synchronisation purposes. Using a low sampling frequency at the receiver means that the digital signal is decimated and a lower number of processing samples is needed. This results in reducing the computational complexity. It is also shown that this advantage comes at the cost of signal-to-noise ratio degradation and insertion of a systematic error in synchronisation that can be avoided by choosing a proper decimation factor. A thorough analysis is also conducted for all possible sampling frequencies that reduce the computational complexity of LTE cell search. To show the validity of the authors{\textquoteright} method, they implemented an LTE primary synchroniser in C++ using GNU Radio libraries and prepared a software-based radio modem, tested in different conditions. Some Monte-Carlo simulations are carried out to compare the proposed method with other low-complexity methods. These comparisons show the suggested method is faster than available techniques in literatures.
