  • Method for synchronization of base stations which are coupled to different switching system parts in a mobile radio network
    Patent number: 6788947
    Abstract: A first base station, which is coupled to a first switching system part is set up within radio range of a second base station, which is coupled to a second switching system part. After initial synchronization of the first base station to the first switching system part and of the second base station to the second switching system part, the second base station receives radio frames transmitted from the first base station and determines their time error with respect to its own radio frame clock. The determined time error is then transmitted to the second switching system part. In response to this, the second switching system part transmits a synchronization signal to the second base station, with the transmission time being chosen as a function of the transmitted time error such that the radio frame clock of the second base station is synchronized with the radio frames of the first base station by time alignment with the synchronization signal.
