Abstract
A cellular multicarrier wireless communication system is disclosed, in which base stations for a cluster of two or more respective cells transmit the same signaling information in synchronism on the same group of subcarriers. This allows the combination of several base station signals ‘on the air’ prior to the receiver's antenna, without using any additional hardware for signal combination in the mobile terminal.
Claims6
A cellular multicarrier wireless communication system, in which base stations for a cluster of two or more respective cells transmit the same signaling information in synchronism on the same group of subcarriers, said transmission of said same signaling information in synchronism on said same group of subcarriers causing a more reliable and stronger composite signal of said same signaling information at cell boundaries, wherein a multiple access preamble is transmitted in each frame to identify the base station from which it is transmitted.
