Abstract

A method in a user equipment for updating a timing of a first cell is provided. The timing is the arrival time of a signal sent from a base station in the first cell relative to a clock in the user equipment in a wireless communication network. The user equipment measures a timing offset for the first cell and respective one or more second cells. When a quality of the timing offset measurement of the first cell is below a first threshold, the user equipment computes a timing offset estimate for the first cell based on the measured timing offset for the respective one or more second cells. The user equipment then updates the timing of the first cell based on the computed timing offset estimate.
