BASE STATION SYNCHRONIZATION FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention is a system and method for time synchronizing a plurality of base stations in a wireless commonication system. The system determines an estimate of a timing accuracy associated with each base station. When a base station's timing accuracy is over a threshold, the system determines if there is a neighboring base station with a better timing accuracy. The base station over the threshold is adjusted in response to an estimated difference between that base station and the neighboring base station.
