Method of maintaining mobile terminal synchronization during idle communication periods

摘要

A method and structure of recovering a network time-base for radio data demodulation after an IDLE period of data communication gauges a local low frequency oscillator versus the high frequency local oscillator to compute the IDLE time as an equivalent number of low frequency oscillator clock periods. Depending upon the high frequency oscillator value, the accuracy of the gauging will directly determine the IDLE period duration versus the gauging period duration in order to keep an acceptable gauging error related to the sampling errors.
