Media access control in known communications systems relies upon an initial position of a mobile terminal and one or more Quality of Service parameters. In order to improve the quality of allocation of resources, the present invention provides a communications system and a method therefor for allocating resources in response to the mobile terminal () following a predicted path () to an optimum location () where the radio environment is better than the radio environment at the initial location ().

Communications systems and method of transmitting information

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