Patent ID: 8879585

Claim:
A frame timing controller, comprising: a timer, arranged to generate a timer value according to a first clock signal with a first clock frequency; a frame timing control unit, coupled to the timer, for triggering at least a receiver to start receiving transmitted information of a base station according to at least a frame pointer and the timer value, wherein the receiver processes an input signal to generate first samples at a first sampling rate corresponding to a sampling clock frequency, and processes the first samples to generate an output signal including second samples at a second sampling rate corresponding to a second clock frequency of a second clock signal, the second clock frequency is different from the sampling clock frequency, and a start time of receiving the transmitted information of the base station is determined by the frame timing control unit based on at least the frame pointer and the timer value; and a frame pointer processing circuit, coupled to the frame timing control unit, for generating and updating the frame pointer according to at least the output signal of the receiver.
