GSM_RRM 16

BTS measures time offset between its bursts and the

received MS bursts
BTS uses these measurements to provide the MS with the
required timing advance
takes values from 0 to 233 s (cells up to 35 km radius)
Calculation: 233 s 3108 m/s = 70 km round trip
determined by coding, 0 to 63, with bit period as the
unit
Signalling is done on the SACCH
