Abstract
New methods for synchronizing previously unsynchronized BTS's of time division multiple access cellular networks are disclosed. Timing information that is readily available throughout the network is used to determine for each BTS when information representing a particular event is transmitted relative to the timing information. The time differences that are detected are used for steering the clock of each BTS to have the next or some other subsequent event transmitted at the same time.
