METHOD OF SYNCHRONISING BASE STATION TRANSMITTERS

摘要

In a communication network comprising a radio network controller (RNC) and anumber of base stations, a method of synchronising base stations of, one of which has the correct time comprising instructing the out-of-synchronisation base stations to search for frequency acquisition transmissions; instructing the base station with th ecorrect time to make a continuous frequency acquisition transmission; allowing one or more base stations to acquire time and frequency of frequency acquisition transmission. The continuous frequency transmission acquisition is preferably done over a time of period of between 0.7 ms and 50 ms.
