Abstract
A method for transmitting broadcast service data in a single frequency network including a Radio Network Controller and one or more base stations each with a cell including one or more sectors, the method includes: transmitting, by the Radio Network Controller, broadcast service data and a first transmission time to the base station; and transmitting, by the base station, the broadcast service data to each of its sector after the first transmission time, where the broadcast service data is transmitted to adjacent sectors sharing a common station address at different transmission times. Also, the present invention discloses a system and base station for transmitting broadcast service data in a single frequency network. With this technical solution, the phenomenon of fast fading of received signals in the prior art which occurs at adjacent edge zones of adjacent sectors in the same cell of the single frequency network can be avoided, and thus improving performance of receiving the signals.
