Abstract

Methods and arrangements in a support node and in connection with a base station for supporting synchronization of the base station. The methods and arrangements involve conveying high-accuracy time information via long-wave signaling to the base station, which implies e.g. that base stations in unfavorable radio conditions may be synchronized without access to reliable IP connections or similar.
