A signal supply apparatus for a public and private mobile communication
system. The apparatus has Internet protocol base transceiver subsystems,
and a private base station controller that controls the Internet protocol
base transceiver subsystems. Instead of having a global positioning
system receiver (GPSR) in each of the Internet protocol base transceiver
subsystems to receive time of day (TOD) signals, the TOD signals are
relayed to each of the Internet protocol base transceiver subsystems via
a LAN cable. It is only the base station controllers that have the GPSR
that receives the TOD signals. Then, these TOD signals are relayed from
the base station controller to respective collective base station
transceivers and then from each collective base station transceiver to
their respective Internet protocol base transceiver subsystems via a LAN
cable.
