A method and system for simultaneous bi-directional wireless communication between a user station and first and second base stations

摘要

A method of communication between a user station and first and second base stations in which the user station is simultaneously in bi-directional wireless communication with said first and second base stations, including a data transmission step in which an uplink signal including user data for communication to another user via the base stations and base station data (23) for communication to said first and second base stations is transmitted from said user station to said first and second base stations, said base station data (23) in said uplink signal including first items (26) that are processed selectively in said first base station (1) and second items (27) that are processed selectively in said second base station. The method is especially applicable when the user station is mobile, the method including a power control step in which the power of downlink signals transmitted by said base stations to the user station is controlled as a function of said data (23) in said uplink signal, the power of a first downlink signal transmitted by said first base station to said user station being controlled selectively as a function of said first item (26) and the power of a second downlink signal transmitted by said second base station to said user station being controlled selectively as a function of said second item (27). <IMAGE>
