AsIunderstandencoding/decodingfortheBCH,theUEcanaquireSFN(10bits)fromasingleblock
iftheSNRishighenough.Thatis,itdoesnotneedtowaitforallfourblocks(whichmaytakeupto

AssumetheUEreceivesone(outoffour)BCHblocks.Thenitcantrywhetheritistherst,second,
third,orfourthone.Ineachcaseithastoapplyadierentdescrambling.However,onlyoneofthem
