  • Method and apparatus for time aligning a frame in a communication system
    Patent number: 6134287
    Abstract: A method and system for time aligning a frame (60) in a communication network (10) involves the steps of; i) determining if a frame needs to be advanced at a BTS (14), and ii) sending a shortened synchronization pattern from the BSC (12). The BTS (14) then determines if a short or long synchronization pattern has been sent by determining (256) if the received data stream matches a long synchronization pattern and setting a first flag when they do match. If the received data stream does not match the long synchronization pattern and the first flag is set (264), the data stream is compared (266) to the short synchronization pattern. When they match a second flag is set (268).
