Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
To avoid reference symbol collision, between reference symbols used by neighboring cells in an OFDM based cellular telecommunications network, the transmission symbols on a given subcarrier used by respective neighboring base stations are compared and where both transmission symbols are determined to be reference symbols the start time of the frame timing period of one of the base stations is adjusted.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a radio network comprising a plurality of base stations and a plurality of subscriber stations, each base station being configured to transmit Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed, OFDM, signals comprising a plurality of subcarriers, each subcarrier being modulated by transmission symbols, a predetermined number of transmission symbols defining a recurring frame timing period, the method comprising: determining that respectiv…
