<p>A wireless, e.g. radio communications arrangement is disclosed, which includes an access point ( 12 ) in which are integrated a plurality of radio modules ( 20 ). Each module ( 20 ) is configurable as a master unit of an area network ( 10 ) and comprises its own native clock ( 28 ) for clocking said module ( 20 ) independently of the native clock ( 28 ) of any other said module ( 20 ). Each said module ( 20 ) further comprises its own baseband controller ( 24 ) and radio transceiver ( 26 ) and is adapted for wireless communication with one or more mobile terminals ( 16 ) by transmission of packets a,c in timeslots defined by said native clock ( 28 ) of said module ( 20 ). Each said module ( 20 ) further comprises at least one external input ( 18, 180; 30 ), through which in use is supplied a signal which substantially synchronizes said modules ( 20 ) in such a manner that there is no partial collision between packets transmissions of two said modules ( 20 ) integrated into the same said access point ( 12 ).</p> |
