Abstract:
1. A method for channel modification within a macro cell of a cellular mobile radio access network, the method comprising the steps of: providing a first control channel signal transmitted by a first transmitter on a broadcast channel, wherein the macro cell comprises the first transmitter and the macro cell overlaps at least partly with a radio coverage area created by a second transmitter; and providing a second control channel signal transmitted by the second transmitter on the same broadcast channel as the first control channel signal, wherein the second control channel signal is transmitted using a same physical layer configuration as the first control channel signal; wherein the second control channel signal is synchronized to the first control channel signal, wherein the second control channel signal includes a duplication of the first control channel signal, and wherein the second control channel signal differs from the first control channel signal in at least one information element carried by the first control channel signal.
