MINIMIZING IMPACT OF SELF SYNCHRONIZATION ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improved methods for synchronizing miniature base stations connected to the Internet and a mobile device's network via a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) router or cable modem.SOLUTION: Network information is sent to a wireless communication device. The network information indicates a first time period 730a that is a period of silence by a base station. Synchronization signals are monitored during the first time period 730a. Monitoring synchronization signals includes not transmitting. The base station may have a current stratum. Synchronization signals may be transmitted in a second time period 730b that includes slots designated for base stations having a stratum less than or equal to the current stratum to transmit synchronization signals. The first time period 730a may include slots designated for base stations having a stratum less than or equal to the current stratum to monitor synchronization signals.
