Abstract

Embodiments provide a terminal point of a communication system, wherein a control signal is emitted in the communication system for coordinating the participants of the communication system, wherein the control signal is transferred distributed in correspondence with a frequency hop-based occupancy of resources of the frequency band, indicated by a control signal hopping pattern, wherein the terminal point has a receiver, wherein a receive bandwidth of the receiver is smaller at least by the factor 3 than a bandwidth of the frequency hop-based occupancy of resources of the frequency band, indicated by the control signal hopping pattern, wherein the terminal point is configured to receive a reference signal, the reference signal having information on the control signal, wherein the terminal point is configured to receive the control signal based on the information on the control signal.
