Abstract
In a cellular communication network, first and second base stations have first and second cells that at least partially overlap in a common geographic zone. In a first synchronization step, a terminal is synchronized by receiving a synchronizing signal transmitted by the first base station. In a second synchronization step, the terminal is synchronized by receiving a predetermined signal dedicated to multiple path processing that is transmitted by the second base station.
