Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing timing synchronization in a mobile device. The method and apparatus include a wireless transceiver having a first oscillatory signal generator (OSG) and a Global Position System (GPS) receiver. The GPS receiver includes a second oscillatory signal generator coupled to a counter for receiving a first clock signal from the first OSG and a second clock signal from the second OSG. Additionally, a GPS signal processor is coupled to the counter. The counter provides a relative offset signal between the first and second oscillatory signal generators to the GPS signal processor for adjusting a pseudo-range model.
