Abstract

A process for the pseudo-synchronization of a time multiplexing communication network comprises the steps of measuring a time shift TM in reception by a mobile station of synchronization signals from first and second fixed stations, measuring the propagation times t1 and t2 of a synchronization signal between the fixed stations and the mobile station, and calculating the transmission time shift TR between the synchronization signals in accordance with the relationship TR=TM+t1 -t2. The pseudo-synchronization process can also be employed for geographically locating a mobile station.
