Abstract

Detection and mitigation of signal conflict, such as a primary synchronization signal conflict, between broadcast cells in a wireless communication network is provided. Multiple broadcast cells may be provided in the network to provide sectors of coverage. A mobile communication device may operate within the network and attempt to attach to one or more of the broadcast cells. A synchronization signal conflict between neighboring broadcast cells may be identified and mitigated using one or more adjustments to the broadcast cells or signals emitted therefrom, which may allow for improved network performance, among other benefits.
