Abstract

In a method for selecting a data transmission method from a number of available data transmission methods in a communication system, in which the communication system includes at least a first base station, a second base station, and a terminal device, in which a wireless communication link exists between the first base station and the terminal device via a first radio channel, and in which a wireless communication link exists between the second base station and the terminal device via a second radio channel, a data packet to be transmitted is sent from the terminal device via the first radio channel to the first base station and via the second radio channel to the second base station, at least one value pair is specified that includes a decorrelation distance of a first noise of the first radio channel and a cross-correlation coefficient between the first noise of the first radio channel and a second noise of the second radio channel, a packet error rate is determined for each of the available data transmission methods for the specified value pair, and the data transmission method that has an optimum packet error rate is selected and assigned to the specified value pair.
