Physical broadcast channel (PBCH) transmission and reception on a shared communication medium

Abstract:

Techniques for broadcast channel management on a shared communication medium are disclosed. An access terminal may be configured to identify a subframe number associated with a given subframe based not only on a subframe number indicator but also a reference boundary. Conversely, an access point may be configured to set a subframe number indicator for a given subframe based not only on its subframe number but also a reference boundary.
