Method for transmitting TDD frames with increased data payload
First Claim
1. Method for transmitting information between at least two transceivers linked together by a bi-directional communication channel, said information being enclosed within at least one frame split into time slots separated from each other by guard intervals having each a predetermined duration, each time slot being allocated either to a first or to a second direction of communication offered by the bi-directional communication channel, the method comprising:
- detecting at least two successive time slots allocated to a same direction of communication of the bi-directional communication channel, andinserting data in the guard interval separating the successive time slots allocated to the same direction of communication.

Abstract
Method for transmitting through a bidirectional communication channel at least one conventional frame (CVFR) split into time slots SLj (for j=1 to L) separated from each other by guard intervals G, each time slot SLj being allocated either to a first or to a second direction of communication uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) offered by the bidirectional communication channel. The method according to the invention includes: detecting at least two successive time slots SLj, SLm+1, SLj+2 allocated to a same direction of communication DL, and inserting data in the guard interval separating such successive time slots SLj, SLj+1, SLj+2.

5. Method for generating a frame of constant total duration for transmitting information in a bi-directional communication channel, said frame being split into a predefined number of time slots, each time slot being allocated either to a first or a second direction of communication offered by said bi-directional communication channel, the method comprising:
-
arranging, at a transceiver, a guard interval only between two consecutive timeslots of said frame when said two time slots are allocated to opposite directions of communication; and adjusting the duration of said guard interval to a total duration for transmitting a multiple number of symbols.

6. Telecommunication system including:
-
a base station and a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal configured to transfer in a first direction data to the base station into at least one time slot of a frame of constant total duration, the base station configured to transfer in a second direction data to the mobile terminal into at least another time slot of the frame, said frame being split into a predefined number of time slots, the base station configured to arrange a guard interval only between two consecutive timeslots of said frame when said two time slots are allocated to opposite directions of communication, and to adjust the duration of said guard interval to a total duration for transmitting a multiple number of symbols.
