TIME OFFSET ACQUISITION FOR DUAL CONNECTIVITY

Devices and methods for determining timing offsets between wireless devices are provided. One method includes transmitting, from a first device, a request for timing data to first user equipment and receiving a response. The timing data is indicative of a frame timing associated with a reference time for both the first device and a second device. The method further includes determining a timing offset between the frame timing for the first device and a frame timing for the second device based on the timing data. Another method includes receiving a reference time from a timing reference device, applying a timestamp to frame timing data for the first device, receiving frame timing data from the second device time-stamped based on the reference time, and comparing the timing data to determine a time offset between the devices.
