Introduction
The evolution mobile phones as Personal Communication Devices and the explosion of devices such as tablets have created a
challenge for the mobile networks, starting from the Base Station and the Mobile Backhaul. New initiatives such as Small Cells
reduce the pressure of capacity crunch and coverage limitations, but the importance of Macro Base Stations remains very high.
With the transition to the packet based backhaul mechanisms, the synchronization implementations have become extremely
challenging.
