Abstract
The present invention provides a method, an apparatus, and a system for synchronization between base stations. The method for synchronization between base stations includes: A first base station receives synchronization information sent by a user equipment, where the first base station is a serving base station of the user equipment; and the first base station adjusts a downlink sending time point and an uplink receiving time point of the first base station according to the synchronization information, so as to keep consistency between the downlink sending time point of the first base station and a downlink sending time point of a second base station that serves as a synchronization time reference and keep consistency between the uplink receiving time point of the first base station and an uplink receiving time point of the second base station.
