Abstract

The present invention provides a method for extending the cell radius between a mobile station (101) and a base station (103). A propagation delay is determined between the mobile station (101) and the base station (103). A transmit time offset is determined for the mobile station (101). The transmit time offset is based at least in part upon the propagation delay. Information is then transmitted between the mobile station (101) and the base station (103) at the transmit time offset.
