Abstract
Example embodiments provide a method to determine a reference signal transmission delay by a base station for a distributed RAN or cloud system architecture. The method uses an over the air transmission time and compensates for a possible reference clock discrepancy. Further, a method for TOA-based propagation delay measurement is provided, where consecutive reference signal transmission delays have a variable pattern or high precision is needed. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.
