Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for communicating data between a first and a second terminal unit, wherein at least one of the terminal units is a mobile terminal unit. The apparatus includes a base station and a number of antenna units each linked to the base station. The base station has a transmitter that transmits modulated data signals to each of the antenna units, a receiver that receives modulated data signals forwarded by at least one of the antenna units, demodulator that demodulates received modulated data signals that have been modulated according to a predetermined modulation scheme. In the predetermined modulation scheme, successive blocks of modulated data are arranged such that a predetermined minimum time period elapses between the arrival, at the receiver, of a first and the arrival of a second of the successive modulated data blocks and wherein, in operation, the predetermined minimum time period being adjusted based on the maximum delay at the receiver between the arrival of a modulated data block a first antenna unit to a time of arrival of the same modulated data block of a different antenna unit.
