Abstract

The present invention provides methods of synchronization, personal handy-phone system stations, and phase lock loops. Synchronization of a personal handy-phone system station with a telecommunication network, and another communication station are provided. One method of synchronization comprises: providing a counter configured to generate a plurality of counter values; storing a first counter value; detecting a reference event; latching a second counter value responsive to the detecting of the reference event; comparing the first counter value and the second counter value to detect phase drift; and compensating for phase drift responsive to the comparing.
