First Claim
1. Apparatus for performing timing synchronization in a mobile device, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver having a first oscillatory signal generator (OSG);
a Global Position System (GPS) receiver comprising;
a second oscillatory signal generator coupled to a counter for receiving a first clock signal from said first OSG and a second clock signal from said second OSG; and
a GPS signal processor coupled to said counter; and
wherein said counter provides a relative offset signal between said first and second oscillatory signal generators to said GPS signal processor to adjust a pseudo-range model.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing timing synchronization in a mobile device. The method and apparatus include a wireless transceiver having a first oscillatory signal generator (OSG) and a Global Position System (GPS) receiver. The GPS receiver includes a second oscillatory signal generator coupled to a counter for receiving a first clock signal from the first OSG and a second clock signal from the second OSG. Additionally, a GPS signal processor is coupled to the counter. The counter provides a relative offset signal between the first and second oscillatory signal generators to the GPS signal processor for adjusting a pseudo-range model.

9. A method for performing timing synchronization in a mobile device, comprising:
-
synchronizing a first oscillatory signal generator (OSG) with a reference signal from a wireless carrier;
counting first clock cycles of said first OSG that occur during a plurality of second clock cycles from a second OSG;
terminating said count in response to attaining a predetermined metric;
computing a relative offset value between said first OSG and said second OSG; and
modifying a pseudo-range model based on said relative offset value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
