Technique for synchronizing network access modules in a mobile communication device

摘要

A technique for synchronizing different network access modules in a mobile communication device (100) is provided. A device embodiment (100) comprises a first network access module (102) having a first radio access technology, or RAT, interface (110) and being clocked at a first clock frequency and a second network access module (104) having a second RAT interface (140) and being clocked at a second clock frequency. A method implementation of this technique comprises the steps of generating a first clock signal having the first clock frequency, receiving a second clock signal having the first clock frequency, the second clock signal being derived from a third clock signal clocking the second network access module (104) and selectively switching to either the first clock signal or the second clock signal for being used as a reference clock signal in the first network access module (102).
