Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A cell controller comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one computer-readable medium that stores software instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes operations to be performed, the operations including:
managing an aggregate cell including a primary modular cell and a plurality of secondary modular cells;
configuring the primary modular cell to receive an out of band timing signal;
configuring the primary modular cell as a master timing cell to transmit a timing beacon including a transmission time stamp indicating a transmission time of the timing beacon from the primary modular cell;
receiving, from the primary module cell, a transmission time stamp included in a timing beacon transmitted by the primary module cell, wherein the transmission time stamp indicates a transmission time of the timing beacon from the primary modular cell;
receiving, from the primary module cell, a reception time stamps wherein each reception time stamp of the reception time stamps is generated by a respective secondary modular cell of the plurality of secondary modular cell; and
calculating a respective a clock offset for each secondary modular cell of the plurality of secondary modular cells based on the reception time stamps.
