Abstract:
1. A wireless serving communication unit for a cellular communication system comprising a controller operably coupled to the wireless serving communication unit supporting communication in a plurality of respective communication sites, the wireless serving communication unit comprising: a signal processor for processing a broadcast signal to be broadcast; logic to replicate the processed signal to a plurality of replicated processed signals; a receiver for receiving at least one calculated temporal delay from the controller; logic to introduce the received at least one temporal delay to at least one of the plurality of replicated processed signals to generate an asynchronous broadcast transmission; and a number of transmitters arranged to transmit the broadcast signal in a plurality of sectorised cells of a communication site, such that multiple replicated and temporally delayed versions of the broadcast signal are transmitted as the asynchronous broadcast transmission from at least one of the plurality of sectorised cells to a wireless subscriber communication unit on at least one from a group consisting of: a communication inter-site basis; and a cellular communication system basis.
