Abstract

A communication method for a mobile communication system is described. Available radio resources, i.e. an available frequency band, are divided into a plurality of comparatively small radio resource units. The mobile communication system uses a first communication protocol for communicating with mobile stations compatible with the mobile communication system. For communicating with an autonomous terminal at least one radio resource unit is allocated, in which a second communication protocol incompatible with the first communication protocol is used for communicating with the terminal.
