Method and apparatus for utilizing a second receiver to establish time and frequency

摘要: Apparatus and methods for synchronizing a network element (e.g. access points, femtocells, etc.) to master (such as cellular network) provide accurate frequency and/or time references their internal systems. In one embodiment, the utilizes dedicated receiver (or transceiver) receive timing information from network. The implementation of is advantageous cost simplicity reasons. Furthermore, or information, received network, used correct element's timing. addition, can operate in open-loop mode, if no be found, thereby allowing device continue providing service users. Additionally, also location, SID, NID, SSID, local element, such may useful required seamless operation within
