Abstract
In a wireless communication system including at least a first (101) and a second base transceiver station (201), a method for providing time adjustment to the second base transceiver station (201) is presented. The method includes supplying an identity of the first and second base transceiver station to a mobile station (103), and based on the identity, tracking a first signal from the first base transceiver station (101) and a second signal from the second base transceiver station (201) by the mobile station (103). The method further includes determining a timing adjustment calculation based on a first time offset of the first and a second time offset of the second signal by the mobile station. And finally, the method includes transmitting the timing adjustment calculation to the second base station transceiver (201), the timing adjustment subsequently used to adjust the timing of the second base station transceiver (201).
