ABSTRACT:
In a network, a method is disclosed for wirelessly exchanging communications with at least one mobile unit. The network includes first and second base stations units coupled to the network, and may include a system controller. The method includes: receiving a communication signal from the second base station unit, wherein the first and second base station units are configured to employ a wireless communications protocol, and wherein the wireless communications protocol does not provide for handoff of communications links between base station units; at the first base station unit, determining if the second base station unit has been synchronized based on the communication signal; at the first base station unit, if the second base station unit is synchronized, then synchronizing an internal clock based on the synchronized second base station, wherein the synchronizing is performed without assistance from a system controller.
