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 1):
A method of reference signal generation redundancy in a wireless communication system, comprising:\n generating a first reference signal as a first master oscillator output from a first master oscillator; detecting the first reference signal generated by the first master oscillator; providing the first reference signal on a first master reference signal generation module output as a master reference signal to at least one first wireless communication system component in a wireless communication system based on detecting the first reference signal by a first detector; and providing a second reference signal on the first master reference signal generation module output as the master reference signal to the at least one first wireless communication system component in the wireless communication system based on detecting failure of the first reference signal by the first detector.
