Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for acquiring by a base station (BS) synchronization between BSs in a mobile communication system with a distributed cell structure is provided. The method includes measuring a timing error with other BS as a synchronization target. The method also includes performing a synchronization operation with the other BS using at least one first sub-frame based on the measured timing error, wherein a number of symbols included in a first sub-frame is less than a number of symbols included in a second sub-frame.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for acquiring by a base station (BS) synchronization between BSs in a mobile communication system with a distributed cell structure, the method comprising: measuring a timing error with another BS as a synchronization target; and performing a synchronization operation with the other BS using at least one first sub-frame based on the measured timing error, wherein a number of symbols in the first sub-frame is less than a number of symbols in a se…
