Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for detecting a synchronization failure of a base station in a wireless communications network. A server receives synchronization data, such as a phase offset between two base stations, from one or more base stations. A difference between each of the synchronization data and the corresponding control data is computed to determine if one or more of the differences is outside a predetermined threshold. If so, the base station that has the synchronization failure is identified.
