SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING EFFICIENT CONTROL TRANSMISSION FOR SINGLE FREQUENCY NETWORK-BASED BROADCASTING OR MULTICASTING

摘要

A system and method for providing efficient control transmission for single frequency network-based broadcasting and/or multicasting. Various parameters that are needed to decode local single frequency network transmissions are signaled in a channel that is separate from the overlay single frequency network control channel. In various embodiments, this channel is transmitted at the level of a local single frequency network or at an individual cell level. This allows this channel to provide, at any given geographical location, the parameters that are used in the transmission of the particular local single frequency networks in that location.
