Abstract
Method and apparatus for synchronizing base stations employing an independent synchronizing source or identifying a base station as a master source. An RNC (C-RNC) or a base station may designate one base station or a UE to acquire measurements derived from base stations to achieve synchronization. Synchronization activities may be regularly scheduled or may be undertaken when periodic measurements indicate that a drift value exceeds a given threshold.
