Abstract:
This disclosure provides a base station for a cellular network, and a method of operating the base station in the cellular network, the cellular network also including a second base station, wherein the first and second base stations include first and second oscillators providing a first and second periodic timing pulse respectively, the method including determining a relative timing offset between a first instance of the first periodic timing pulse for transmission of a frame from the first base station and a first instance of the second periodic timing pulse for transmission of a frame from the second base station; determining that the relative timing offset is changeable; and adjusting the first periodic timing pulse to maintain the relative timing offset by varying a first period between instances of the first periodic timing pulse such that the rate of change of the relative timing offset over time is reduced.

Claim (Index 8):
A first base station operating in a cellular network, the cellular network also including a second base station, the first base station comprising:\n an oscillator providing a reference frequency; a processor adapted to derive a first periodic timing pulse from the reference frequency; a transceiver adapted for transmission of a frame at instances of the first periodic timing pulse, and further adapted to measure a second periodic timing pulse of the second base station, wherein the processor is further adapted to:\n determine a relative timing offset between a first instance of the first periodic timing pulse and a first instance of the second periodic timing pulse, \n determine that the relative timing offset is changeable, and \n to adjust the first periodic timing pulse to maintain the relative timing offset by varying a first period between instances of the first periodic timing pulses such that a rate of change of the relative timing offset over time is reduced.
