Identification of base stations
First Claim
1. A process for wireless communication including a communication link between an user and a base station of a compact cell, said process comprising the steps of identification of said base station by said user and establishment of said communication link wherein said identification comprises transmission by said base station of an identification signal pattern that is characterized by at least two different time phase shifts relative to at least one benchmark time such that the combination of said different phase shifts is employed to make said identification.

Abstract
The identification of wireless communication base stations in a region of high base station density is effected using a specific identification signal pattern transmitted by the base stations. In particular, each base station transmits a signal having a pattern with at least two time phase shifts relative to at least one time benchmark. The combination of these phase shifts allows identification of the transmitting base station. Since a plurality of phase shifts leads to a concomitantly larger number of phase shift combinations, the capacity to identify base stations is enlarged.
