Wireless communication system, wireless communication unit and method of synchronisation

A method of synchronising a wireless communication unit in a communication system, the method comprising at said wireless communication unit the steps of: monitoring transmissions from a communication system and processing (400) frequency and/or timing information from the communication system. The method further includes the steps of transmitting (404) frequency and/or timing information by said wireless communication unit; receiving and processing (406) said frequency and/or timing information transmitted by said wireless communication unit at a receiving portion of said wireless communication unit. The wireless communication unit then compares frequency and/or timing information transmitted from the communication system to that transmitted by said wireless communication unit; and synchronises said wireless communication unit if said comparison step does not yield a match. A wireless communication unit and a communication system are also provided.
