Abstract:
1. A method for reducing a Cognitive Pilot Channel (CPC) bandwidth used for transmitting lists of information to a plurality of meshes wherein each mesh is covered by at least one base station to which a User Equipment camping on, said method comprising: defining a reference list of information associated with a reference mesh, —associating an identifier with said reference mesh, —transmitting the reference list of information; determining a difference from the reference mesh by comparing a list of information intended for the given mesh with the reference list of information; and transmitting the determined difference from the reference list of information associated with the reference mesh as the list of information, For i=2 to n, n being the number of meshes in the area covered by a base station, the base station receives information of each mesh and selects mesh #1 as a reference mesh, the base station transmits the complete list of information of the reference mesh #1, For i=2 to n, the base station derives the differences between the list of information of mesh #i and the list of information of mesh #i−1, the base station transmits the differences, and the UE determines the list of information of mesh #m wherein the UE is located by the reference list and the differences between mesh #i and mesh #i−1 (i=2 to m), wherein the period of the transmission of the list of information is chosen depending on the reliability of the Cognitive Pilot Channel decoding.
