Abstract
Apparatus for establishing a wireless connection with a mobile communication device includes a transceiver arranged to transmit a set of broadcast control signals on a first carrier, thereby to enable the establishing of the wireless connection between the transceiver and the mobile communication device. The apparatus further includes one or more transmitters each arranged to transmit a respective interference signal for interfering with broadcast control signals transmitted on a respective one or more carriers different from the first carrier by a respective one or more base stations of a mobile communications network.

Apparatus for establishing a wireless connection with a mobile communication device, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver arranged to transmit a set of broadcast control signals on a first carrier, thereby to enable the establishing of the wireless connection between the transceiver and the mobile communication device;
- and
- one or more transmitters each arranged to transmit a respective interference signal for interfering with broadcast control signals transmitted on a respective one or more carriers different from the first carrier by a respective one or more base stations of a mobile communications network, wherein:
- the transceiver is arranged to transmit a further interference signal for interfering with broadcast control signals transmitted on the first carrier by a further base station of the mobile communications network;
- the further interference signal comprises data encoded and modulated using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and allocated to a set of resource blocks occupying at least a portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier;
- said at least portion comprises a control region in which the further base station of the mobile communications network transmits broadcast control signals;
- and
- the set of resource blocks does not contain resource blocks in which the transceiver transmits broadcast control signals.
A method of establishing a wireless connection between a transceiver and a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a transceiver, a set of broadcast control signals on a first carrier, thereby to enable the establishing of the wireless connection between the transceiver and the mobile communication device;
- transmitting, by each of one or more transmitters, a respective interference signal for interfering with broadcast control signals transmitted on a respective one or more carriers different from the first carrier by a respective one or more base stations of a mobile communications network;
- and
- transmitting, by the transmitter, a further interference signal for interfering with broadcast control signals transmitted on the first carrier by a further base station of the mobile communications network, wherein:
- the further interference signal comprises data encoded and modulated using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and allocated to a set of resource blocks occupying at least a portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier;
- said at least portion comprises a control region in which the further base station of the mobile communications network transmits broadcast control signals;
- and
- the set of resource blocks does not contain resource blocks in which the transceiver transmits broadcast control signals.
