Abstract
A technique for maintaining a radio time base used to schedule communication in a radio network () is provided. A method implementation () of the technique comprises determining () a course of a frequency relation; switching off () a reference oscillator () during a period of reduced power (); predicting () the frequency relation; restoring () the radio time base in or after the period of reduced power; and communicating () in the radio network at a time determined by the restored radio time base. The frequency relation is a relation between the reference oscillator and a clock (). The predicting is based on a result of the determination and the restoring is based on a result of the prediction. The frequency relation is predicted for a given time in or after the period of reduced power.
