System and method for providing broadcast transmitter specific pilots in synchronized broadcast networks

A Single frequency based broadcast communication system comprising:

• a desired broadcast transmitter and a plurality of adjacent interfering broadcast transmitters that are in communication with a receiver over a communication channel, wherein the desired broadcast transmitter comprising a waveform generator for transmitting broadcast transmitter specific pilot signals to a receiver, wherein the receiver receives a superimposed signal of the transmitted broadcast transmitter specific pilot signals,
• wherein the desired broadcast transmitter is one of the broadcast transmitters from which mobile station intends to receive data and each adjacent interfering broadcast transmitter comprises a pilot insertion module and a precoding filter module and the desired broadcast transmitter comprises a pilot insertion module and a precoding filter module, wherein the precoding filter module is designed to:
• generate a transmitter specific precoding sequence from a plurality of precoding sequences based on a computed location index for specific pilot signals in a time frequency domain;
• and
• precode a reference pilot signal to obtain the broadcast transmitter specific pilot signal sequences, based on the plurality of precoded sequences.
