Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: generating frame synchronization information for at least two air interface standards in a clock; generating a system frame number for the frame synchronization information; transferring synchronization bursts containing the frame synchronization information from the clock to processors over a serial bus using time-division multiplexing for synchronization bursts addressed to processors of different air interface standards; extracting, in at least one processor, the frame synchronization information from a received synchronization burst of a respective air interface; and changing, in the at least one processor, the frame number at a predetermined offset to a predetermined point of the received synchronization burst, wherein the generating of the frame synchronization information, the generating of the system frame number, the transferring of the synchronization bursts, and the extracting of the frame synchronization information are performed in a base station.
