Lightweight inter-cluster synchronization scheme for femtocell network

Femtocell is a small sized indoor basestation to increase the coverage and capacity. Femtocell is connected through broadband backhual to the IEEE1588 to synchronize and manage the network. Due to limited/poor connectivity femtocell suffers by frequency misallignment and clock differencs. To overcom...
