The present invention proposes a method for synchronization of a cellular radio network, the network comprising at least two radio transceiver devices (BS) of a first type, and at least one radio transceiver device (MS) of a second type, the method comprising the steps of measuring timing offsets (OTD) between respective pairs of said first type radio transceiver devices (BS) by means of at least one of said second type radio transceiver devices (MS), controlling said first type transceiver devices (BS) by means of a controller device (BSC) on the basis of said measured timing offsets (OTD) such that one of said first type transceiver devices (BS) is set as a master transceiver device (M_BS) with the transmission and reception timing thereof remaining unchanged, and the remaining first type transceiver devices are set as slave transceiver devices (S_BS) with the transmission and reception timing thereof being adjusted so as to be adapted to the timing of said master transceiver device (M_BS), with the timing being adjusted such that subsequently measured timing offsets (OTD) between said master transceiver device (M_BS) and each respective slave transceiver device (S_BS) are minimized. |
