Abstract: A cell, preferably a stand-alone device, arranged for wireless communication with a plurality of other cells in a communication network, e.g. a TDMA network such as a DECT based network. The cell includes a processor performing a selection algorithm which selects a reference cell among other cells. The selection algorithm bases the selection on a wireless signal, e.g. an RF signal, received from at least two other cells. Further, the cell includes a wireless receiver for receiving a first wireless signal, e.g. an RF signal, from the reference cell with time synchronization information for the reference cell. The cell includes a wireless transmitter which transmits time synchronization information for the cell itself represented in a second wireless signal, e.g. and RF signal. The selection algorithm selects the reference cell based on transmission link quality measurements and cell path information received from a number of cell candidates. The cell preferably also itself transmits cell path information, e.g.
