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 interference signal transmitted by at least one of the transmitters comprises data encoded and modulated using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and allocated to resource blocks occupying at least a portion of the bandwidth of one of the respective one or more carriers, said at least portion comprising a control region in which one of the respective one or more base stations transmits broadcast control signals,
- wherein said data comprises broadcast control signals and system information messages, wherein the system information messages allocate a higher cell reselection priority to the first carrier than to said one of the respective one or more carriers.
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;
- and
- 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,
- wherein the interference signal transmitted by at least one of the transmitters comprises data encoded and modulated using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and allocated to resource blocks occupying at least a portion of the bandwidth of one of the respective one or more carriers, said at least portion comprising a control region in which one of the respective one or more base stations network transmits broadcast control signals,
- wherein said data comprises broadcast control signals and system information messages, wherein the system information messages allocate a higher cell reselection priority to the first carrier than to said one of the respective one or more carriers.
