<p>The present invention is an extended range concentric cell base station and a method for extending a cell size or access range without incurring ASIC correlator re-design. This is accomplished with a concentric cell base station design that incorporates multiple timing protocols and search windows. The concentric base station has associated a micro cell and a macro cell, wherein the micro and macro cells use a same frequency band but different timing protocols and search windows that will cause signals transmitted by mobile-telephones within their respective cells to be received within the confines of at least one search window.</p> |
