Patent ID: 7577128

Claim:
A method for coordinating transmissions within a first and second cell using an n-slot interlacing structure, the method comprising: transforming a first block of broadcast information into first and second subpackets; transmitting the first subpacket within the first and second cells during a first time slot; transmitting the second subpacket within the second cell during a second time slot while bypassing transmission of the second subpacket within the first cell during the second time slot, and wherein a first data rate used to transmit the first block of broadcast information in the first cell is larger than a second data rate used to transmit the first block of broadcast information in the second cell; transforming a second block of the broadcast information into third and fourth subpackets; transmitting the third subpacket within the first and second cells during an n+1 time slot; and transmitting the fourth subpacket within the second cell during an n+2 time slot and bypassing transmission of the fourth subpacket within the first cell during the n+2 time slot.
