Abstract

See full text

In a method for transmitting data via a radio interface between base stations and subscriber stations in a radio communications system, the time slots in a frame are allocated to different base stations such that the base stations transmit exclusively in the time slots in the downlink direction which are allocated to them, but also receive in those time slots in the uplink direction which are not allocated to them. It is thus possible to combine the received signals from at least two base stations with one another. Without any significant additional complexity, the existing base stations, which are on standby during some time slots, can be used to provide a macrodiversity reception. The transmission quality is improved by the plurality of propagation paths which are evaluated in the uplink direction. A radio communications system is also provided.
