Abstract
A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for deliberately producing synchronous timing jitters in order to dynamically shift the delay spread within the overlap zone in a simulcast system. At a synchronous periodic rate, the timing differential between transmission of the signal from the control point to each of the transmitters can be continuously adjusted to continuously change the relative timing between multiple received signals in the overlap zone. Alternatively, the timing adjustments can be performed only upon reception of a retransmission request. In either case, the timing adjustments are performed so as to not be noticed by the mobile subscriber.
