Abstract

A method of operating a wireless network operating on a single frequency across a geographical area involves dividing the network into regions and arranging that the transmission of signals in subsets of adjacent regions on the same frequency is such that a receiver does not receive signals from more regions than can be separated using demapping techniques. The transmission method evolves a pattern of time slots such that the number of adjacent regions of a subset of regions transmitting simultaneously on a single frequency is less than the number of signals that each receiver is capable of demapping. The demapping arrangements may include MIMO techniques, constellation schemes, QAM.
