Method and device for synchronization in wireless networks

A wireless communications system for providing MBS to mobile terminals, the system comprising:

• a distributor gateway operative to transmit MBS data to a plurality of base stations;
• a plurality of base stations, each base station having
• a transceiver operative to
• receive synchronization information for enabling the transmission of MBS data at a synchronized starting time point, and
• receive said MBS data,
• a processor operative to
• determine whether any of the MBS data has not been properly received, and upon determining the existence of such faulty MBS data, determine the duration of a time period that would have been required for transmission of the faulty MBS data, and
• determine a starting point of a silence period which would proceed the last data that has been properly received;
• and
• wherein said transceiver is further operative to transmit received MBS data, starting at the synchronized starting time point, and to refrain from transmitting any signals during said silence period.
