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 20):
The REC of  claim 14  wherein being configured to compute the radio interface frame timing offset for the target REC of the at least one other REC comprises being configured to:\n transmit to the target REC a synchronization signal over the asynchronous communication network as modulated IQ data; \n receive from the target REC a synchronization signal over the asynchronous communication network plus a computed radio interface timing offset from the master REC which includes a transit delay to the target REC and a radio interface frame offset; \n correlate a reference synchronization signal and a received signal from the target REC to compute a transit delay to the target REC; and \n transmit to the target REC a radio interface frame offset over the asynchronous communication network.
