Abstract: An apparatus, such as a network element (112), for use in a system that communicates with a multimode receiving device (110), employs an information gating buffer (400) that is operably coupled to a first wireless system transmitter (404) and receives information to be transmitted by the first wireless system transmitter (404). A synchronization controller (402), operably coupled to the information gating buffer (400) receives synchronization information (132) from a second wireless system using a second wireless system receiver circuit (130), and uses the timing synchronization information (132) to control the information gating buffer (400) to gate broadcast information for transmission from a first wireless system transmission circuit (128) to the multimode receiving device (110).
