The invention relates to a method for signaling DTX status information during Repeated SACCH operation in GERAN communication systems. A mobile station measures values assigned to a serving radio cell and assigned to neighboring radio cells. The measurement is done within a number of successive measurement periods. The measurements, assigned to a measurement period with a number N, are transmitted to the base station within the successive measurement periods numbered N+1 and N+2 each. The measured values are transmitted as part of a SACCH-information block. The mobile station determines uplink DTX status information during each of the numbered measurement periods. A first DTX status information, which is assigned to the measurement period with the number N, is transmitted to the base station within the measurement periods numbered N+1 and N+2 each. A second DTX status information, which is assigned to a measurement period with number N-1, is also transmitted to the base station within the measurement periods numbered N+1 and N+2 each. The transmission of DTX status information is done with a Layer 1 Header of the SACCH information block. |
