Abstract
A method and system for configuring a radio interface between a mobile station and a base station in a time-division multiplex mobile radio system for packet data transmission, wherein time slots for signalling in the uplink direction are allocated by a base station to the mobile stations in accordance with a sequence which can be predetermined independently of packet data transmission. The fixed allocation of a time slot for signalling, in addition to mobile stations to which no physical channel is currently allocated, allows the base station to carry out continuous measurement relating to the radio interface. Thus, when packet data transmission resumes, immediately valid measurements are available for configuration of the radio interface.
