Claim:
1. A method for use in a Node B for performing radio link synchronization, the method comprising: receiving a random access channel (RACH) preamble; transmitting an acquisition indicator in response to the RACH preamble; transmitting a fractional dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) according to a F-DPCH time based on a relative F-DPCH timing offset parameter and timing of an acquisition indicator channel (AICH) access slot including the acquisition indicator, wherein the relative F-DPCH timing offset parameter is 256 chips multiplied by an offset value; and receiving a dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) according to a DPCCH time, the F-DPCH time and the DPCCH time are offset by a predetermined offset.
