Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided that a highly efficient broadcast channel that can be shared among many different base stations. In one embodiment, the invention includes a broadcast channel structure with a first burst having a first reuse factor, a plurality of secondary bursts having a second reuse factor greater than the first reuse factor, and a plurality of segments of each secondary burst, each segment being associated with a different set of unchanging spatial parameters, each secondary burst including at least one repetition of the plurality of segments.
