Patent ID: 8811558

Claim:
A method of synchronizing first and second electronic devices connected by a wireless transmission link for transmission of electrical signals over a path including a transmission channel and a reception channel, the first and second electronic devices being included in a network comprising a relay antenna and a radio communication bay, to each of which one of the first and second electronic devices is connected, the method comprising: transmitting synchronization information directly from the first electronic device to the second electronic device as a clock pilot signal via the transmission and reception channels over paths of the wireless transmission link; modulating a digital value onto the clock pilot signal, the digital value being a value of a counter designated to count frequency of sending a pilot signal and wherein the value is used to modulate the pilot signal to generate the clock pilot signal, wherein the synchronization information contains a frame comprising information in addition to the digital value of the clock pilot signal, wherein the information within the flame is selected from any of alarm data, control data, and one or more communication protocols; and using the clock pilot signal, after recovery, for synchronization of a reference signal of the second electronic device.
