A first method includes: supporting one broadcast transmission in one sub-frame of a physical resource; the one broadcast transmission includes broadcast data using a first cell identifier and supporting transmission of unicast control information using a second cell identifier in the one sub-frame of the physical resource, the first and second cell identifiers being different. A second method includes: supporting one time discontinuous broadcast transmission in one sub-frame of a radio frame of a physical resource; and supporting transmission of unicast control information in plural time-continuous sub-frames of the radio frame of the physical resource; the one sub-frame used for the one time discontinuous broadcast transmission including a first duration less than a second duration used in the plural sub-frames of the radio frame for transmitting unicast control information."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Cellular communication system, communication units, and method for broadcast and unicast communication","description":"A method and apparatus supporting broadcast and unicast transmissions in a wireless communication system including plural communication cells.
