Abstract

A method for transmitting broadcast signals from a group of base stations to terminals of a wireless communication system. Each base station having a coverage area. The coverage areas of the base stations of the group are distributed geographically such as to serve a geographical area. Since the broadcast signals are of limited duration and are transmitted in a frequency band used by all of the base stations of the group, the base stations of the group are time-synchronized in relation to one another. The broadcast signals from the base stations of the group are time-multiplexed. In addition, the wireless communication system has multiple geographical regions. Each region includes multiple groups of base stations), and the broadcast signals of different geographical regions are time-multiplexed.
