Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the frame phases of all the base stations from drifting hourly by measuring the time difference of the frame phases at both base stations, and correcting a transmission timing so that the time difference can coincide with each other. CONSTITUTION:The time difference t1(n) of the frame phase measured at the base station BS1 and the time difference t2(n) measured at the base station BS2 simultaneously are transmitted on (n+1)th frames to an opposite base station, respectively. Each base station compares t1(n) with t2(n). For example, when relation t1(n)>t2(n) can be satisfied, it shows that the frame phase of the base station BS2 lags behind the base station BS1, and the base station BS1 applies no correction of the frame phase on an (n+2)th frame. Meanwhile, the base station BS2 also compares t1(n) with t2(n) simultaneously. Delay is corrected on the (n+2)th frame from relation t1(n)>t2(n), and an operation is performed so as to synchronize the frame phase of the base station BS2 with that of the base station BS1.
