Abstract
A base station for handling radio communication including flexible filler transmission is described. Therein, plural transmitters share a distributed responsibility to ensure that each time slot on a control channel carrier frequency is transmitted by one of the transmitters, even when no meaningful data is available for transmission. A control channel sign bus is provided which indicates if the control channel is currently scheduled to transmit on the next time slot. Idle transmitters can monitor this bus and, if necessary, provide the filler function when the control channel bus indicates that no transmission is currently scheduled for the control channel.
