and communicate with each cpe within a particular overlap area so as to synchronize frames and convey timing information and other data so as to enhance wireless communication specific embodiments of the present invention are hereafter described in detail with reference to the accompanying figures like elements in the various figures are identified by like reference numerals for consistency although the invention has been described and illustrated with a certain degree of particularity it is understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in the combination and arrangement of parts can be resorted to by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention fig2 shows a high level view 200 of two overlapping wran cells 210 220 operating on different working channels utilizing a common control channel within the overlap area defined by their coverage intersection as in the prior art each wran cell 210 220 is associated with a bs 240 230 each wran cell 210 220 operates initially on a different working channel while the cells may together utilize dfh to eliminate quiet time the control channel for the purposes of conveying information among the bs of the control channel owner cpe and the cpes associated with different bss in the overlapping area is unique unlike the prior art the cpes 215 shown in fig1 operate on the same control channel regardless of which bs they were originally associated according to one embodiment of the present invention an ecbp message.
