5 Appendix
CS Classifications
CSs are assigned to any one of the following three classifications for implementing air synchronization:
CS Class
Master CS1 (synchronization
source clock)
Master CS2 (backup for
Master CS1)
Slave CS
Synchronization Hierarchy
Air synchronization has a hierarchical structure with a Master CS1 at the top. Therefore, it is necessary to
conduct the site survey with extreme care to ensure stable synchronization since one disruption of the radio
link could cause loss of service to a wide area.
Master CS1
(Master Clock Signal)
Slave CSs
Search Order (Primary/Secondary)
The search order used for synchronizing CSs must be set. If the CS cannot synchronize with the Primary CS
for some reason, it will try to synchronize with the Secondary CS.
CS Class
Master CS1
Master CS2
Slave CS
For example, if synchronization is completely lost by malfunction of the Master CS etc., handover will not work
and ongoing calls will be disconnected after a while. In addition, new calls cannot be made or received.
Therefore, it is recommended to not only assign the Primary CS but also the Secondary CS as an alternative
source for synchronizing CSs.
