  • simulating to the mobile radio network, via the intermediate station, a mobile terminal on a mobile radio frequency and simultaneously communicating with the mobile terminal via an internal frequency;

    setting up a connection, in the case of an existing connection between the base station and a mobile terminal which is approaching the area of reception of the intermediate station, between the mobile terminal and the intermediate station on the internal frequency;

    handing over, via the connection, individual features of the mobile terminal to the intermediate station; and
