The particular frame in a super-frame using orthogonal frequency division multiple access techniques will contain system configuration information in the super-frame header. This super-frame header may be located at a fixed offset from the initial preamble of the frame. In some embodiments, the system configuration information may be located in a broadcast channel section of the super-frame header. In some embodiments, the particular frame may overlap a legacy OFDMA frame in time and in OFDMA sub-channels, so that the two frames share some time and sub-channel resources.
