Constant broadcast channel timing in a wireless communication system

摘要

Method by which the guard interval in use by a radio access network of a wireless communication system, such as a one using OFDM, is communicated from the radio access network to a mobile station so that the mobile station need not try different guard intervals to determine which is in use. The method is based on transmitting system information indicative of the guard interval at a predetermined time relative to a training sequence. Corresponding equipment is also provided.
