Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: transmitting, by a client device, a pilot signal to a base station; receiving, by the client device from the base station, a time difference for the pilot signal and a signal quality value for the pilot signal; comparing, by the client device, the time difference to a preselected value; in response to the comparison, generating, by the client device, a complex number based on the time difference; determining, by at least one selected from the group consisting of a physical layer device (PHY) of the client device and a medium access controller (MAC) of the client device, an offset value based on the complex number and the signal quality value, wherein the offset value comprises a time value; and adjusting, by at least one selected from the group consisting of the PHY of the client device and the MAC of the client device, based on the offset value, at least one selected from the group consisting of a transmission time of a transmitter of the client device, an activation time of the transmitter, and a deactivation time of the transmitter.
