METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NOISE QUIETING DURING RESYNCHRONIZATION OF A DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus eliminates an audible noise burst after reestablishment of an external timing signal in a radio base station (102). The radio base station (102) temporarily operates from an internal timing signals generator (226) to provide digital communications over a radio link with a portable communication unit (120). The method and aparatus detect (304, 306, 308) the reestablishment of the external timing signal, and control (312) the portable communication unit (120) to execute a radio link reestablishment procedure in response to the reestablishment of the external timing signal.
