In a picocell system, first and second base stations 104, 108 transmit a common Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH). The base stations are in contact with first and second mobile cellular telephones 120, 122 respectively and transmit data using a frame structure with the slot allocated for the communication comprising a midamble (26, fig 3) containing training data. In order to determine the best service cell for a mobile, each base station is required to measure the power of transmissions from the mobile. In the method described, the first base station measures the power of a transmission from the second mobile whilst training data is being transmitted from the first. |
