Abstract
A wireless communication system has at least one user-side-device and a base-station. The at least one user-side-device and the base-station are configured to communicate with each other via a satellite applying a timing-advance-value (TA) for synchronizing an uplink of the communication. The base-station is configured to provide the at least one user-side-device with a satellite-connecting-signal concerning an uplink towards the satellite, the satellite-connecting-signal providing configuration information in order to establish and adjust the uplink to the satellite. The at least one user-side-device is configured to perform an adjustment of the timing-advance-value for a pre-compensation of at least one synchronization offset of an uplink in case the at least one user-side-device receives the satellite-connecting-signal, the satellite-connecting-signal including a granting-signal indicating the user-side-device the allowance to adjust the timing-advance-value. Responsive to the granting-signal, the at least one user-side-device is configured to automatically adjust the timing-advance-value for an unlimited time or for a certain period of time, until the at least one user-side-device receives a new TA adjustment configuration.
