主权项

1. A base station for a cellular communications system, wherein said cellular communications system operates according to the long term evolution, LTE, standard, wherein said base station is configured to transmit random access information, which comprises information on random access procedures associated with said base station, or scheduling information, wherein said base station is configured to transmit said random access information or said scheduling information in at least one dedicated downlink channel, which is different from a physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, as defined by the LTE standard; and
wherein said dedicated downlink channel is arranged within at least one OFDM symbol, wherein said OFDM symbol comprising said dedicated downlink channel is arranged adjacent to an OFDM symbol carrying a primary synchronization channel, or a secondary synchronization channel, of the LTE standard.
