Abstract
A cellular communication system ( 100) is arranged to support a single cell identifier reuse pattern using a first communication. Management logic (146) comprises broadcast mode logic (150) arranged to support a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions amongst a cluster of communication cells using a second communication. A plurality of wireless serving communication units are operably coupled to the management logic. At least one wireless communication unit comprises logic arranged to support a unicast communication using a first communication cell identifier and logic arranged to support broadcast communication using a common cell identifier (215) to be used by the wireless communication unit in receiving broadcast communication across the cluster of communication cells.

Claim
1. A cellular communication system (100) arranged to support a single cell identifier reuse pattern using a first communication; the cellular communication system (100) comprising:
management logic (146) having broadcast mode logic (150) arranged to support a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions amongst a cluster of communication cells using a second communication;
a plurality of wireless serving communication units operably coupled to the management logic; and
at least one wireless communication unit comprising logic arranged to support unicast communication using a first communication cell identifier and logic arranged to support broadcast communication using a common cell identifier (215) to be used by the wireless communication unit in receiving broadcast communication across the cluster of communication cells.', 'management logic (146) having broadcast mode logic (150) arranged to support a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions amongst a cluster of communication cells using a second communication;', 'a plurality of wireless serving communication units operably coupled to the management logic; and', 'at least one wireless communication unit comprising logic arranged to support unicast communication using a first communication cell identifier and logic arranged to support broadcast communication using a common cell identifier (215) to be used by the wireless communication unit in receiving broadcast communication across the cluster of communication cells.
2. The communication system of claim 1 wherein the at least one wireless communication unit is arranged to use the common cell identifier in each downlink transmission resource in all clusters of communication cells to support receiving of the broadcast communication.
3. The communication system of claim 1 wherein the common cell identifier is mapped to at least one scrambling code and at least one pilot sequence to be used in the cluster of communication cells by the at least one wireless communication unit.
4. The communication system of claim 1 wherein the at least one wireless communication unit further comprises a receiver for receiving signalling information that indicates a timing of the unicast communication transmissions and a timing of the broadcast communication.
5. The communication system of claim 1 wherein the broadcast communication is arranged to employ a carrier intended for time division duplex in broadcast downlink communications.
6. The communication system of claim 1 wherein the first communication employs a first carrier frequency and the second communication employs a second carrier frequency to broadcast downlink communications.
7. The communication system of claim 6 wherein the first carrier frequency and second carrier frequency are the same carrier frequency such that the first communication employs a first time portion on the carrier frequency and the second cellular network employs a second time portion for broadcast downlink communications.
8. A wireless communication unit comprising:

13. The wireless communication unit of claim 8 wherein the broadcast communication and the unicast transmissions are allocated different timeslots (350) or different sub-frames
14. A method of communicating in a cellular communication system, the method comprising, at a wireless communication unit:
supporting a unicast communication using a single cell identifier reuse pattern;
receiving broadcast communication using a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions across a cluster of broadcast communication cells.', 'supporting a unicast communication using a single cell identifier reuse pattern;', 'receiving broadcast communication using a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions across a cluster of broadcast communication cells
15. A non-transitory computer program product having executable program code stored therein for supporting communications in a cellular communication system, the program code operable for, when executed at a wireless communication unit:
supporting a unicast communication using a single cell identifier reuse pattern; and
receiving broadcast communication using a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions across a cluster of broadcast communication cells.', 'supporting a unicast communication using a single cell identifier reuse pattern; and', 'receiving broadcast communication using a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions across a cluster of broadcast communication cells.']
