Abstract
A wireless communications network participant comprising: a plurality of communications subsystems, each subsystem being arranged to transmit and/or receive signals under a different telecommunications standard; means for generating a clock signal; and scheduling means for sending commands to at least one of the subsystems for its or their operation, the scheduling means deducing the timing of the commands relative to the clock signal.

A wireless communications network device comprising:
- a plurality of communications subsystems, each subsystem being arranged to transmit and/or receive signals under a different telecommunications standard;
- a single clock for generating a single timing signal;
- and
- a scheduler for sending commands to at least one of the subsystems for its or their operation, the scheduler deducing the timing of the commands relative to the single timing signal.

A wireless communications network device comprising:
- a clock configured to generate a single clock signal;
- a plurality of communications subsystems, each subsystem being arranged to transmit and/or receive signals under a different telecommunications standard;
- and
- a scheduler for sending commands to at least one of the subsystems for its or their operation, the scheduler receiving the single clock signal and deducing the timing of the commands relative to the single clock signal,
- wherein at least one of the subsystems receives the single clock signal directly from the clock without interaction with the scheduler.
