Disclosed is a method for synchronizing a radio port and a radio interface
unit (RIU) in a WLL system, in which an asynchronous system is used for
communication among radio ports, capable of providing timing
synchronization between each radio port and each RIU associated therewith.
The method involves the steps of controlling a modulator equipped in the
radio port to execute an internal timing alignment thereof, controlling a
channel card controller equipped in the radio port to execute the timing
alignment with the modulator, controlling the channel card controller to
transmit the synchronous data to the radio interface unit via the
modulator, controlling the radio interface unit to acquire a pilot signal
transmitted from the radio port, and synchronizing the radio interface
unit with the radio port associated with the acquired pilot signal based
on the synchronous data received from the radio port. In accordance with
the method, the WLL system obtains synchronization between each radio port
and RIU associated therewith, thereby maintaining stability. Therefore, it
is unnecessary to use a separate unit such as GPS receivers and is
possible to provide an inexpensive and reliable WLL system.
