Abstract

A first base station synchronizes with one or more second base stations by transmitting, from the first base station, a first timing reference signal and receiving, at the first base station, one or more second timing reference signals transmitted by the one or more second base stations. The method also includes determining one or more first timing offsets between the first base station and the one or more second base stations based on the one or more second timing reference signals. The method further includes adjusting a timing associated with the first base station based on the one or more first timing offsets and one or more second timing offsets determined based on the first timing reference signal.
