Abstract
A method for frame number synchronization in a wireless communication network may be implemented by a base station. The method may include determining a current time from a timing source that is common to multiple other base stations. The method may also include determining a time offset between the current time and a reference time, wherein the base station and the multiple other base stations use the same reference time for determining the time offset. The method may also include determining a current frame number based on the time offset.
