Method and apparatus for synchronization between base stations on distributed cell structure

A method for synchronization between base stations in a mobile communications system of a distributed cell structure in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a step of measuring a timing error of other base station which is a subject for synchronization; and a step of performing the synchronization with the base station by using one or more second subframes including symbols whose the number is at least one less than that of the first subframe based on a measurement result of the timing error.
