Wireless network and wireless access terminals using SYNC—ID having increased granularity

摘要

A wireless network comprising a plurality of base station capable of communicating with a plurality of mobile station in a coverage area of the wireless network. A first base station transmits an enhanced synchronization identifier parameter to a mobile station. The enhanced synchronization identifier parameter may apply to less than all of the plurality of base stations defined by the System Identifier/Network Identifier (SID/NIC) value associated with the wireless network.
