Device and method for transmitting samples of a digital baseband signal

Method for transmitting a signal of a wireless communication network, the method comprising

• receiving samples of a digital baseband signal;
• determining a current time;
• generating at least one timestamp depending on the current time, the timestamp being associated with at least one sample;
• and
• outputting the signal, the signal including the samples and the at least one timestamp;
• wherein the method comprises for transmitting at least one baseband signal pattern and transmitting an indication that indicates when the at least one baseband signal pattern shall be output.

Receiving arrangement for receiving a signal of a wireless communication network, the receiving arrangement comprising

• a signal input operable for receiving the signal, the signal including samples of a digital baseband signal and at least one timestamp, the timestamp being associated with at least one of said samples;
• a local clock running independently of the received signal and operable for determining a current time;
• a signal generator for outputting the digital baseband signal, the signal generator being operable for outputting at least one sample at an instant of time that depends on the timestamp and the current time;
• wherein the receiving arrangement comprises a signal pattern buffer for storing at least one baseband signal pattern and wherein the receiving arrangement is operable for outputting the at least one baseband signal pattern depending on a receipt of an indication that indicates when the at least one baseband signal pattern shall be output.

Method for reconstructing a digital baseband signal of a wireless communication network, the method comprising

• receiving a signal, the signal including samples of the digital baseband signal and at least one timestamp, the timestamp being associated with at least one of said samples;
• determining a current time by a local clock running independently of the received signal;
• and
• generating the digital baseband signal by outputting at least one sample at an instant of time that depends on the timestamp and the current time;
• wherein the method comprises storing at least one baseband signal pattern in a signal pattern buffer and outputting the at least one baseband signal pattern depending on a receipt of an indication that indicates when the at least one baseband signal pattern shall be output.
