Abstract

A method for the radio coverage of a mobile terminal of a mobile radio network in the catchment area of an intermediate station which is used as a converter, wherein: in the case of an existing connection between the mobile radio network and the mobile terminal, a connection is first set up on an internal frequency and the connection is then handled via the intermediate station; in the case of an existent connection from a mobile terminal via an intermediate station to the mobile radio network, the intermediate station will hand over the connection to the mobile terminal again directly to the mobile radio network when the mobile terminal is removed from the internal area of reception; and in the case of a new setting-up of a connection from the mobile terminal to the mobile radio network, for setting up the connection, the mobile terminal first, or after an unsuccessful connection set-up attempt with a mobile radio frequency, attempts to establish connection to an intermediate station on an internal frequency.
