Patent attributes
A telecommunication system includes base stations, a backhaul network transmitters, a backhaul network in communication with the base stations, and a synchronizing system in communication with the base stations. The base stations are configured to transmit/receive signals to/from user equipment and the backhaul network is configured to convey information to and from at least one of the base stations. The synchronizing system is configured to synchronize a communication timing between the base stations over a synchronizing network. The synchronizing network is separate from the backhaul network and is configured to provide the communication timing between the synchronizing system and a corresponding synchronization port at each of the base stations.
