Abstract
A radio communication system (100) employs a method (300) and apparatus (103) for providing chronological information to a communication unit (103). A base site (101) of the radio communication system (100) determines (303) the chronological information (e.g., time and date). The base site (101) transmits (305) the chronological information in a portion of a system control signal (107) to the communication unit (103). The communication unit (103) receives (311) the chronological information and maintains (313) the chronological information for use (315, 317) by a user of the communication unit (103).
