Abstract
In a time division multiple access wireless communication system, a wireless radio station performs a timing error compensation method. The wireless radio station receives messages including a synchronisation pattern. The wireless radio station adopts a power down mode between reception of messages, and accumulates a timing error representing an accumulated difference between expected times of arrival of the synchronisation patterns and actual times of arrival of the synchronisation patterns, during a predetermined time interval between reception of successive messages and before an expected reception of a next message. Thereafter, the wireless radio station at least substantially undoes the accumulated timing error, before the expected reception of the next message such that the timing error is compensated before the expected reception of the next message.
