pilot channel

The pilot channel in telecom is used to assist in the synchronization and control of communication between mobile devices and base stations. It plays a crucial role in establishing and maintaining a reliable connection for voice and data transmission. The pilot channel carries essential information about the network, such as timing and frequency synchronization, allowing mobile devices to identify and connect to the strongest signal available. By continuously broadcasting this information, the pilot channel helps mobile devices make seamless handovers between different base stations, ensuring uninterrupted communication for users on the move.
