Abstract

A method for use in multicellular communication network system of the type having base stations and a plurality of remote stations. The method achieves reliable and fault tolerant synchronization between the stations in a call when a frequency hopping technique is used. The method includes steps for acquiring the frequency hop sequence by remote station and tracking the frequency hop sequence after acquisition in order to stay in synchronism. The method also provides for recovering from loss of synchronism and for staying in synchronism.
