Apparatus and method for broadcasting data
First Claim
1. A synchronized wireless communication network operating in single frequency network mode comprising:
- a first base station broadcasting, on a first channel, broadcast data and a common sequence that is generated from a first channel identifier, and wherein the first base station transmits data on a first common control channel; and
a second base station, proximal to the first base station and synchronized with the first base station, the second base station simultaneously broadcasting on the first channel the broadcast data and the common sequence, and wherein the second base station transmits data on a second common control channel.

Abstract
Disclose is a synchronized wireless communication network (100) operating in single frequency network mode comprising a first base station (502) broadcasting, on a first channel, broadcast data and a common sequence (508) that is generated from a first channel identifier, and wherein the first base station transmits data on a common control channel. A second base station (510), adjacent to the first base station and synchronized with the first base station, the second base station simultaneously broadcasting on the first channel the broadcast data and the common sequence, and wherein the second base station transmits data on a common control channel.
