Method, mobile radiotelephone system, and station for determining a timing advance for a connection between two stations

The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims,

• in which
• at least two different services (S, N) are assigned to the connection,
• only some of the services (S) of the connection are transmitted in the short radio blocks,
• and the at least two services (S, N) are transmitted in the long radio blocks.

A mobile radio telephone system,

• having at least two stations (MS, BS) between which data (D) of services of the connection is transmitted in the form of radio blocks (B1, B2) in a timing pattern (TS),
• having an allocation unit (U1) for allocating the connection to a channel,
• having a synchronizing unit (SYNC) which, in order to synchronize the stations (MS, BS), determines a timing advance (TA) with which the first station (MS) emits radio blocks with an offset with respect to radio blocks (Ri) received by it,
• whose first station (MS) has a transmitter unit (TX) via which, during the determination of the timing advance (TA), it transmits the data (D) in the form of short radio blocks (Bi) without timing advance,
• in which, after the determination of the timing advance (TA), the transmitter unit (TX) of the first station (MS) transmits the data (D), taking into account the determined timing advance, in the form of long radio blocks (B2) which are longer than the short data blocks (B1),
• and in which the transmitter unit (TX) of the first station (MS) transmits both the short radio blocks (B1) and the long radio blocks (B2) in the channel.

A station (MS) for a mobile radio telephone system,

• having a transmitter unit (TX) for transmitting data (D) of services of the connection in the form of radio blocks (B1, B2) in a timing pattern (TS) of a channel which is assigned to the station (MS),
• having a receiver unit (RX) for receiving a timing advance (TA) with which the transmitter unit (TX) emits radio blocks (B2) with an offset with respect to radio blocks (Ri) received by the station, for the purpose of synchronization with a further station (BS),
• whose transmitter unit (TX) transmits, before the reception of the timing advance (TA), the data (D) in the form of short data blocks (B1) without timing advance,
• whose transmitter unit (TX) transmits, after the reception of the timing advance (TA), the data (D), taking into account the timing advance, in the form of long radio blocks (B2) which are longer than the short radio blocks.
• and whose transmitter unit (TX) transmits both the pg,30 short radio blocks (B1) and the long radio blocks (B2) in the channel.
