Abstract
A method for use in a cellular system comprising a plurality of base stations with corresponding cells, in which system the communication between users in a cell and the base station is divided into an up link period and a down link period, the method comprising letting a controlling node instruct the base stations regarding: a first point in time when the base station should start transmitting a control signal; a second point in time when the base station should start to listen for control signals from other base stations and measure their time of arrival and signal strength; a third point in time when the base station should cease listening for control signal; and a fourth point in time when the base station should transmit the measurements results to a receiving node in the system.
