Abstract:
A control node for controlling the delay time of the transmission of a data signal to at least one transmitter within a simulcast mobile radio network, comprising:at least one programmable delay generator for receiving said data signal and a synchronization signal and transmitting said data signal to a respective one of said at least one transmitter within said simulcast cellular network;a memory associated with said at least one programmable delay generator having a plurality of delay values stored therein, said at least one programmable delay generator accessing said memory to obtain a select one of said plurality of delay values when said data signal and said synchronization signal are received by said programmable delay generator, said programmable delay generator delaying transmission of said data signal to said respective transmitter for an amount of time corresponding to said select delay value; anda counter associated with said memory, the value of said counter corresponding to the position of said select delay value within said memory, said programmable delay generator incrementing said counter after said select delay value is retrieved.
