Abstract:
Embodiments for providing reference signal generation redundancy in wireless communications systems are disclosed. To avoid a single point of failure in reference signal generation that could cause components relying on the reference signal to not operate properly, the reference signal generation circuits disclosed herein include a plurality of reference signal generation modules. One reference signal generation module is configured as the master reference signal generation module to generate a master reference signal distributed in the wireless communication system. The other reference signal generation modules are configured as slave reference signal generation modules. If a failure is detected in the generation of the master reference signal in the master reference signal generation module, another slave reference signal generation module is reconfigured to be the new master reference signal generation module to generate the master reference signal. In this manner, the reference signal generation circuit does not have a single point of failure.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:\n detecting the second reference signal from a second reference signal generation module as a second input into the first reference signal switch in a fifth detector coupled to the second input of the first reference signal switch; providing a fifth detection output from the fifth detector representing a detection state of the second reference signal from the second reference signal generation module; detecting the first reference signal from a first reference signal generation module as a second input into the second reference signal switch in a sixth detector coupled to the second input of the second reference signal switch; and providing a sixth detection output from the sixth detector representing a detection state of the first reference signal from the first reference signal generation module.
