Abstract:
A method of synchronizing a transmitter in a subscriber terminal of a wireless telecommunications system, comprising the steps of:transmitting an uplink signal;receiving a downlink signal, the downlink signal including a code synchronization signal having a value in response to a phase of the uplink signal;identifying the code synchronization signal within the downlink signal;adjusting a phase of the uplink signal in response to the code synchronization signal;inserting an overhead channel into the downlink signal, the overhead channel including the code synchronization signal, wherein the code synchronization signal is a multi-bit value specifying forward or backward incremental adjustments of the phase of the uplink signal, the multi-bit value enabling incremental adjustments of more than one size to be specified.
