Abstract
A base station forms a time-division multiplexing physical control channel comprising a set of presynchronization timeslots each carrying the same synchronization signal, and a set of synchronization supplement timeslots respectively associated with the presynchronization slots. Each synchronization supplement slot carries the same synchronization signal representing system information and furthermore a signal identifying said synchronization supplement slot, thereby enabling to complete the synchronization achieved on the basis of the presynchronization slots.
