A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A TIMING CORRECTION MESSAGE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for transmitting a timing correction message in a wireless communication system, the method comprising, Generating the timing correction message comprising a 8-bit MessageID field and a 2-bit NumSectors field wherein, the NumSectors field indicates the number of sector records in the message and a 16 bit TimingCorrection field wherein, the TimingCorrection indicates the timing correction on the sector and last 15 bits indicate the magnitude of timing correction in units of 1/8 chips and transmitting the timing correction message over a communication link.
