The invention discloses a method for realizing base station synchronization, which includes the following steps: a second base station defines a first base station according to indication information sent by other base stations; the second base station searches the position of a descending pilot frequency time slot (DwPTS) of the first base station and adjusts the position of the DwPTS according to the position of the searched DwPTS; the second base station reads a system frame number (SFN) from the broadcasting information of the first base station and updates the SFN to be the read SFN.

The present invention discloses a frequency hopping communication method for digital centreless communication systems, which includes procedures below: Service frequency points are divided into one or a plurality of frequency hopping sequence sets. A calling broadcasting station detects state of each service frequency point and selects a frequency hopping sequence set of higher quality. After acquisition of time slot synchronization for the calling broadcasting station and a designated service frequency point, the calling broadcasting station initiates a call request to a called broadcasting station and transfers the call request to the designated service frequency point and the time slot. After receiving the call request from the calling broadcasting station, the called broadcasting station transfers to the service frequency point and the time slot designated by the call request of the calling broadcasting station. The calling broadcasting station communicates with the called broadcasting station on the designated frequency point and the time slot. Different call frames circularly use each service frequency point in a selected frequency hopping sequence set through frequency hopping until communication is finished. The method reduces impact of selective frequency attenuation on normal communication of broadcasting stations and improves communication efficiency.

To execute the cell-search procedure in a cellular communication system (such as a system based upon the 3GPP TDD standard), there are available identification codes for the second step (slot synchronization) and for the third step (identification of the scrambling codes). The identification codes are identified by a process of correlation with the received signal and are used for obtaining from a correspondence table the parameters for the execution of the second step (CD) or of the third step (SCR). The correspondence table is stored in a reduced form by the identification, according to rules of symmetry and redundancy, of subtables designed to generate the entire table by appropriate combination operations. The search procedure in the correspondence table thus reduced is conveniently modified by the introduction of the combination operations. A preferential application is in mobile communication systems based upon standards such as UMTS, CDMA2000, IS95 or WBCDMA.
