Abstract:
A method for controlling the synchronization of a digital European cordless telephone (DECT) having a base station capable of registering a plurality of handset units, comprising the steps of:(a) transmitting a dummy bearer channel information from said base station to a handset if a traffic channel is established between said base station and an additional handset; (b) storing said received bearer channel information into a candidate buffer of said handset; (c) changing the receiving position of said handset unit to said candidate buffer where said received bearer channel information is stored, if cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) errors exceed a predetermined number of times; and, (d) retrieving, by said handset, said dummy bearer channel information stored in said candidate buffer in order to assign a new dummy channel to be used to synchronize to said base station.
