An apparatus and method for controlling the timing of control bursts in a wireless communications network maps the timing of control bursts on a multiframe by multiframe basis. In one implementation, a method of controlling base station transmissions in a wireless network in accordance with a multi-frame timing structure is provided. The method is defined as a succession of y frames, each frame including a succession of x time-slots, and includes allocating a frame/time-slot number pair to set the timing of a first-type control burst for a first multi-frame, and changing at least one of the (i) frame number and (ii) frame number and time-slot number of the frame/time-slot number pair for a second multi-frame so that the timing of the first-type control burst is different during the second multi-frame relative to the first multi-frame.
