1. A method for data transmission in a radiocommunication network, comprising:

  • receiving terminal data carried by a first radio signal from a communication terminal at a communication satellite directly from the communication terminal and from the communication terminal via one or more first relay terminal, wherein the first radio signals are directed toward a communication station;

    combining the first radio signal received directly from the communication terminal and the first radio signal received from the one or more first relay terminal to produce a combined terminal signal at the communication satellite that has increased energy in relation to the individual radio signals received by the communication satellite; and
