1. A method for defining the timing of frames associated with a certain first communication connection and allocated for measurement and reception of signalling external to said first communication connection in a cellular radio system, comprising the steps ofarranging the transmission associated with communication connections to be essentially continuous and to consists of consecutive frames;

  • arranging for the measurement and reception of signalling external to a communication connection to necessitate an interruption in the otherwise continuous transmission associated with the communication connection;

    establishing knowledge that indicates at least one future occurrence of signalling external to the first communication connection;

    identifying, on the basis of said established knowledge, a future frame associated with the first communication connection that will coincide in time with said future occurrence of signalling external to the first communication connection; and

    defining the identified future frame as a frame allocated for measurement and reception of signalling external to the first communication connection.
