Abstract
A method for synchronizing base stations (104, 106, 108, 110) or radio ports in a communication system (100) such as a cordless or cellular telephone system uses a mobile station (114) or handset for synchronizing unsynchronized base stations. The mobile station (114) is first synchronized to a reference base station. The mobile station (114) then initiates communication with the unsynchronized base station and calculates a synchronization adjustment. The mobile station (114) transmits the synchronization adjustment to the unsynchronized base station which uses the synchronization adjustment to adjust its time base.
