Abstract: According to one configuration, an example communication system includes multiple wireless base stations such as a first wireless base station and a second wireless base station. The first wireless base station resides outdoors and receives timing information from remote radio hardware such as a satellite or other suitable resource; the second wireless base station resides indoors and is unable to receive the timing information from the satellite. The communication system includes a communication link or network connecting the second wireless base station to the first wireless base station. In one configuration, the second wireless base station receives the timing information from the first wireless base station over the network. The first wireless base station and the second wireless base station both use the timing information to synchronize wireless communications in the wireless network environment.

Abstract: According to one configuration, an example communication system includes a primary wireless station, multiple candidate wireless stations, and a remote network. The primary wireless station is in communication with one or more of the multiple candidate wireless stations. During operation, when the primary wireless station needs to provide one or more communication devices access to a remote network, the primary wireless station monitors presence of the multiple candidate wireless stations. Each of the multiple candidate wireless stations is available to support a wireless backhaul link from the primary wireless station to a remote (such as a core) network. The primary wireless station is operable to select an appropriate candidate wireless station amongst the multiple candidate wireless stations. Via the selected candidate wireless station, the primary wireless station establishes a backhaul link to the remote network.
