Patent ID: 7447524

Claim:
A cell timing distribution system for a base station, comprising: a timing control unit, generating two types of timing signals comprising a frame boundary signal and timing difference parameters, wherein the frame boundary signal represents the timing of the base station; and a plurality of communication channel blocks (CCBs), each CCB receiving the frame boundary signal and a corresponding timing difference parameter from the timing control unit, and comprising a timing generator, delaying the frame boundary signal by a period corresponding to the timing difference parameter received from the timing control unit to generate a system timing signal for the CCB after receiving an activation signal; wherein the timing generator comprises: a Finite State Machine (FSM) changing a present state of the FSM according to the activation signal, the frame boundary signal, and the timing difference parameter, and outputting an enable signal according to the present state; and a counter, receiving the enable signal from the FSM, and counting and generating the system timing signal of the CCB according to the enable signal.
