Claim:
1. A method for managing information related to a timing difference between a micro cell and a macro cell, the method comprising: receiving, by a convergent node, information related to a timing difference between a micro cell and a neighboring macro cell of the micro cell, wherein the information related to the timing difference is sent by a micro cell base station and comprises the timing difference between the micro cell and the neighboring macro cell of the micro cell, or the information related to the timing difference comprises a frame timing of the micro cell and a frame timing of the neighboring macro cell of the micro cell; and sending, by the convergent node to the micro cell base station, instruction information for adjusting a frame clock value of the micro cell, or sending, to the micro cell base station, reconfiguration information for reconfiguring at least part of timing difference parameters of the micro cell, when the timing difference is greater than a preset first threshold value of the timing difference, wherein the timing difference parameters comprise the frame clock value of the micro cell, a threshold value of the timing difference between the micro cell and the macro cell, a detection cycle, a reporting cycle, a gap offset, a clock drift speed of the macro cell, and a clock drift speed of the micro cell.
