Synchronization of RBS in a network using a configurable GPS Receiver Emulator
Abstract: Radio Base Stations (RBS) are synchronized in a network with the help of signals received from GPS Receivers. These signals include a pulse per second signal (1PPS) along with timing and satellite positioning information sent in the form of NMEA format. The purpose of this thesis is to develop an emulator that can generate these signals and can, in turn, synchronize the RBS for testing purposes in a lab environment. Development of such a device reduces the cost of setting up a Live GPS Receiver and accompanying antennas in a lab, along with the removal of long cables that are to be connected to the RBS. Another advantage of such a device will be the ability of controlling the simulation environment conditions through the configuration of NMEA sentences parameters. Moreover, the emulator can be run to test the RBS for as long as possible with precise control on when to start or stop the test.
