Abstract

La présente invention concerne, dans des modes de réalisation, un procédé de synchronisation d'interface radio et un appareil associé. Le procédé de synchronisation d'interface radio comprend les étapes suivantes : une première station de base obtient des informations d'horloge d'une horloge de référence principale, puis obtient des informations de décalage de synchronisation d'une unité de commande de station de base, les informations de décalage de synchronisation comprenant un décalage de trame et un décalage binaire de la première station de base liés à une seconde station de base, considérée comme une station de base de référence, puis le décalage de trame et le décalage binaire sont calculés par l'unité de commande de station de base; conformément aux informations d'horloge et aux informations de décalage de synchronisation, la référence d'horloge de la première station de base est réglée pour synchroniser la première station de base avec la seconde station de base sur l'interface radio. Grâce à la solution technique fournie par la présente invention, la précision de la synchronisation d'interface radio de la station de base peut être effectivement améliorée.
