Abstract
A method is provided for improving the data throughput of a communication system (100) operating under different radio propagation conditions and with radio equipment with different training data requirements. The data rate is increased by optimising the training data structure (205) for the individual radio channel (105) rather than globally employing a worst case training data structure(205). The invention is applicable to the GSM cellular communication system where increased data rate is achieved by setting up links with midamble (205) replaced by user data (203) when allowed by the propagation conditions.
