Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for an exclusive transmitter-receiver for establishing synchronization between base stations and to establish the synchronization between base stations even when radio communication between base stations is difficult by establishing the synchronization between base stations via a mobile equipment. CONSTITUTION:Suppose that a base station A is a radio base station having a master clock, a base station B is conventional radio base station not having a master clock and the mobile station is in communication with the base station A. When the mobile station receives a signal sent from the base station A, a clock in a reception signal is recovered, the timing of a transmission data is adjusted and the signal is sent synchronously with the clock in the reception signal. In the case of the receipt of the signal sent from the said mobile equipment, the base station recovers the clock of the reception signal and the result is used as the clock of a transmission signal. Thus, the synchronization between the base stations A, B is established.
