Synchronising base stations in cellular communication systems

摘要

A method for synchronising base stations in a cellular communication system, wherein the base stations transmit data frames that contain synchronisation sequences (s,t), includes the steps of: including in the data frames transmitted from a reference base station first (s) and second (t) synchronisation sequences with a fixed mutual position, and synchronising the timing of a slave base station on the basis of the mutual position of the first (s) and second (t) synchronisation sequences in the data frames transmitted from the reference base station. <IMAGE>
