Method and device in radio based telecommunication system using repeaters
First Claim
1. A method in a radio based telecommunication system, using at least one stationary unit, at least one portable unit and at least one repeater in a communication between said units, wherein at an establishing of a duplex channel between said portable unit and said stationary unit an access demand is sent from said portable unit to said repeater on a time slot n, wherein said repeater selects a best time slot among time slots n+1 to N for an uplink communication with said stationary unit, where N represents a number of time slots n in a frame transmitted in said communication between said units, and wherein uplink communication between said portable unit and said stationary unit is established and said repeater repeats transmission information to the stationary unit, and that in a downlink communication, a best time slot among time slots 1 to n-1-N/2 is selected for communication between the stationary unit and the portable unit, wherein said stationary unit transmits on said best slot to said repeater, which repeats transmission information from said stationary unit to the portable unit on said time slot indicated by the portable unit at said access demand,wherein n+1≦
- N, and n≧
1+N/2.

Abstract
A radio based communication system including stationary units, portable or mobile units, and repeaters. Respective mobile units communicate using a normal access schedule where transmitting and receiving functions are separated in time, for instance with a half time frame. Reception for a respective current stationary unit is delayed a number of time slots in relation to transmitting from the stationary unit, at which the stationary unit is aware of the delay and consequently the use of a repeater. Also repeating of information is arranged to be performed within one time frame.

8. A method of communication in a radio based telecommunication system including at least one stationary unit, at least one portable unit, and at least one repeater, comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting from said at least one portable unit access demand information to said at least one repeater on a time slot n; selecting by said at least one repeater a best time slot among time slots n+1 to N for uplink communication between said at least one portable unit and said at least one stationary unit, where N represents a number of time slots n in a frame transmitted in communication between said at least one stationary unit, said at least one portable unit, and said at least one repeater; selecting by said at least one repeater a best downlink time slot among time slots 1 to n-1-N/2 for downlink communication between said at least one stationary unit and said at least one portable unit; repeating by said at least one repeater the access demand information transmitted from said at least one portable unit to said at least one stationary unit, thereby establishing said uplink communication; transmitting by said at least one stationary unit downlink information to said at least one repeater on said best downlink time slot selected by said at least one repeater; and repeating by said at least one repeater said downlink information transmitted by said at least one stationary unit to said at least one portable unit, thereby establishing said downlink communication, wherein n+1≦
