`
`A cellular base station comprising:
`circuitry configured to transmit a broadcast channel in an
`orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) core-
`band;
`wherein the core-band is substantially centered at an operating
`center frequency and the core-band includes a first plurality of
`subcarrier groups, wherein each subcarrier group includes a
`plurality of subcarriers;
`
`wherein the core-band is utilized to communicate a primary
`preamble sufficient to enable radio operations;
`
`the primary preamble being a direct sequence in the time
`domain with a frequency content confined within the core-
`band or being an OFDM symbol corresponding to a particular
`frequency pattern within the core-band;

`channel [] in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access
`(OFDMA) core-band”
`– Claim elements 8.9 and 18.9: “transmit[ting] control and data
`channels [] using a variable band including a second plurality of
`subcarrier groups, wherein the variable band includes at least
`the core-band”
