18.2 Concepts
Locking The process of acquiring a phase lock to
the references
Synchronizing The process of maintaining a phase lock
to the reference
Internal Source An internal short-term stable oscillator
Optional Reference An optional frequency reference source
built into the RBS
PCM reference A frequency reference extracted from the
PCM-network
Hold-over Entered Time The time before reporting a hold-over
mode, i.e. a fault is sent to the BSC
Hold-over Expired Time The maximum time in hold-over mode.
After this time, the synchronization
quality will not be guaranteed and the
BSC should disable the RBS so that radio
transmission ceases
18.3 Functions
18.3.1 Synchronizing to the Reference Source
The RBS has its own short-term stable oscillator; this internal source is
locked to the reference source.
The generated frequency is used for both RF frequency and for clocking
of the timebase counters, see /GSM:05.10:3/ and /JTC PCS:7.1/. The
same source is used for all carriers.
18.3.2 Selection of Reference Source
In an RBS using the optional synchronization reference as reference
source, there are no reselection possibilities.
In an RBS where the executive reference is taken from the PCM
interface, PCM-A has to be usable as reference at startup.
If PCM-A is not usable as reference, a reselection of PCM-A as the
executive reference is performed when it becomes usable as reference
again.
