Abstract:
Systems and methods of aligning a radio interface frame timing reference in a pool of Radio Equipment Controllers (RECs) are provided. In some embodiments, a method of operation of an REC includes computing a radio interface frame timing offset for a target REC relative to a reference time and 5 sending the radio interface frame timing offset to the target REC via an asynchronous communication network. According to some embodiments, this provides a substantially aligned radio interface frame timing reference in a pool of RECs. In some embodiments, the method also includes, prior to computing the radio interface frame timing offset, determining that the REC is a master REC. In some embodiments, determining that the REC is the master REC includes exchanging information indicative of at least one capability of each of the RECs and determining that the REC is the master REC based on the at least one capability.

Claim (Index 46):
A Radio Equipment Controller, REC, comprising:\n a communication interface configured to communicatively couple the REC to at least one other REC and a Radio Equipment, RE, via an asynchronous communication network; and circuitry configured to:\n receive a radio interface frame timing offset from a master REC relative to a reference time for the REC and the master REC via the asynchronous communication network; and \n adjust a radio interface frame timing of the REC based on the received radio interface frame timing offset.
