Abstract
A base station () can determine () which resource blocks a second base station () will utilize to transmit control signaling as corresponds to that second base station. The base station can then prevent () itself from transmitting control signaling (which control signaling corresponds to a plurality of wireless carrier resources as correspond to the base station) using resource blocks that will coincide with the resource blocks the second base station will utilize to transmit its control signaling. These teachings also provide for having the base station then transmit () a signal that comprises an indication that the control signaling as corresponds to the plurality of wireless carrier resources will be transmitted using the alternative resource blocks as compared to at least one ordinarily expected resource block.
