METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING SUBSCRIBER EQUIPMENTS, A BASE STATION AND A SUBSCRIBER EQUIPMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a base station, a subscriber equipment, and a method for synchronizing the subscriber equipments with the transmission of the base station in a digital cellular radio network utilizing the CDMA multiple access method and comprising in each cell at least one base station (BTS) communicating with the subscriber equipments (MS) within its area, in which network the base station transmits a separate pilot channel provided with a predetermined spreading code. In order to facilitate the synchronization of the subscriber equipments, in the method according to the invention the base station (BTS) transmits a data-modulated signal on the pilot channel.
