Broadcast burst with repeated weights for a radio communications system
First Claim
1. A cellular base station comprising:
- a processor to select a first set of spatial parameters and a second set of spatial parameters and to associate a first segment of a broadcast channel burst and a second segment of the broadcast channel burst with the first and second sets of spatial parameters, respectively, the processor further generating a broadcast channel burst containing the first and second segments and a repetition of the first and second segments; and
a transmitter to send the generated broadcast channel burst.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided that allows a receiver to tune to a broadcast burst through phase and amplitude discontinuities. In one embodiment, the invention includes sending a first segment of a broadcast channel burst using a first set of signal parameters from an array of antenna elements of a broadcast channel radio, sending a second segment of the broadcast channel burst after sending the first segment, the second segment being sent using a second set of signal parameters from the broadcast channel radio array, and sending a third segment of the broadcast channel burst after sending the second segment, the third segment being sent using the first set of signal parameters from the broadcast channel radio array.
