A system and method for dynamically calibrating a base station in a wireless communication system, is presented herein. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the system includes a base station for transmitting, receiving, and processing communication signals and a wireless communication device for communicating with the base station. The wireless communication device is configured to determine its location (e.g., using GPS information), to detect the arrival time of a first signal transmitted from the base station, and to calculate a line-of-sight (LOS) delay corresponding to the LOS distance between the wireless communication device and the base station. The LOS distance calculation is based on the base station location information and the wireless communication device location information. The base station measures a round trip delay (RTD) corresponding to the delay incurred by the first signal and a delay incurred by a second signal transmitted from the wireless communication device back to the base station in response to the first signal. The base station then determines a base station timing calibration error based on the LOS delay, the first signal arrival time, and the RTD, and dynamically calibrates the base station timing to compensate for the base station timing calibration error. |
