Abstract: A method for dynamically selecting one of a plurality of base stations for provision of timing information. A base station compares satellite signal strengths measured at satellite-positioning-system receivers of a plurality of base stations, such as the plurality of base stations in a local area network (LAN) for instance. The base station then selects one of the plurality of base stations to provide timing information based at least in part on the comparison, such as the one base station having the greatest satellite signal strength for instance. The base station then operates according to timing information indicated by satellite data from the selected base station. Advantageously, this method can help to increase the accuracy and reliability of the timing information.

Abstract: A method for configuring a first base station to use a coverage area identifier is described. For instance, a computing system may determine that coverage provided by the first base station overlaps with coverage provided by a second base station. Further, of a plurality of third base stations that also provide coverage overlapping the coverage provided by the second base station, the computing system may identify one or more third base stations having an extent of handover with the determined second base station that is below a threshold extent of handover. The computing system may then select, as the coverage area identifier to be assigned to the first base station, a coverage area identifier that is also assigned to a particular one of the one or more identified third base stations. The computing system may configure the first base station to use the selected coverage area identifier.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于配置第一基站以使用覆盖区域标识符的方法。 例如，计算系统可以确定由第一基站提供的覆盖覆盖由第二基站提供的覆盖。 此外，在还提供覆盖由第二基站提供的覆盖覆盖的多个第三基站中，计算系统可以识别具有与所确定的第二基站的阈值以下的切换范围的一个或多个第三基站 切换范围。 计算系统然后可以将分配给第一基站的覆盖区域标识符选择也被分配给一个或多个识别的第三基站中的特定一个的覆盖区域标识符。 计算系统可以将第一基站配置为使用所选择的覆盖区域标识符。
