Abstract
A method of synchronizing a clock for an adjacent network (AN) to a clock for an overlay network (ON) is provided. The method includes extracting an ON clock signal from an outgoing signal transmitted from the overlay network. The AN clock is synchronized to the ON clock based on the extracted ON clock signal.
Claims20
A method of synchronizing a clock for an adjacent network to a clock for an overlay network, comprising:
- extracting an overlay network (ON) clock signal from an outgoing signal transmitted from the overlay network;
- and
- synchronizing the adjacent network (AN) clock to the ON clock based on the extracted ON clock signal.
A method of synchronizing a clock for an adjacent network to a clock for an overlay network, comprising:
- synchronizing the adjacent network (AN) clock to the overlay network (ON) clock based on an ON clock signal extracted from an outgoing signal transmitted from the overlay network;
- requesting a plurality of timing reports at a specified frequency from at least one mobile station;
- receiving the timing reports from the mobile station at the specified frequency;
- and
- for each timing report received from the mobile station, determining whether to resynchronize the AN clock to the ON clock based on the received timing report.
A system of synchronizing a clock for an adjacent network to a clock for an overlay network, comprising:
- an adjacent network (AN) clock;
- and
- a clock synchronizer operable to extract an overlay network (ON) clock signal from an outgoing signal transmitted from the overlay network and to synchronize the AN clock to the ON clock based on the extracted ON clock signal.
