Abstract
Systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products are provided for causing a dataframe to be emitted at an air interface of an antenna. A memory stores a transmission to antenna delay value (TAD). An offset calculator calculates an offset value based on an epoch of a global timebase generator and the transmission to antenna delay value (TAD). An interface controller in communication with the offset calculator communicates a segment synchronization signal and a field synchronization signal based on the offset value.
Claims18
An apparatus for causing a dataframe to be emitted at an air interface of an antenna, comprising:
- a memory configured to store a transmission to antenna delay value (TAD);
- at least one processor operable to function as:
- an offset calculator configured to calculate an offset value based on an epoch of a global timebase generator and the transmission to antenna delay value (TAD);
- and
- an interface controller in communication with the offset calculator and configured to communicate a segment synchronization signal and a field synchronization signal based on the offset value.
A method for causing a dataframe to be emitted at an air interface of an antenna, comprising:
- storing a transmission to antenna delay value (TAD);
- calculating an offset value based on an epoch of a global timebase generator and the transmission to antenna delay value (TAD);
- and
- communicating a segment synchronization signal and a field synchronization signal based on the offset value.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions which when executed by a computer system causes the computer system to perform:
- storing a transmission to antenna delay value (TAD);
- calculating an offset value based on an epoch of a global timebase generator and the transmission to antenna delay value (TAD);
- and
- communicating a segment synchronization signal and a field synchronization signal based on the offset value.
