A single frequency network (SFN) system is provided, where the system
includes a head-end and a plurality of transmitters. The head-end is
capable of calculating timing information based upon a time reference
having a second resolution. Thereafter, the head-end is capable of
sending content including the timing information. The transmitters are
capable of receiving the content including the timing information. At
least one transmitter is capable of calculating a delay to synchronize
the content with content received by at least one other transmitter. In
this regard, the transmitter(s) are capable of calculating the delay
based upon the timing information and a time reference having a first
resolution, the first resolution being higher than the second resolution
such that the delay has a higher accuracy than the timing information.
After the delay, then, the transmitter(s) are capable of broadcasting the
synchronized content to a plurality of mobile terminals.
