Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 5, wherein the sequences of data symbols emitted by the terminal on the first and second uplink channels are numbered and comprised in numbered frames, the transmission method further comprising estimating a deviation of synchronization between the first and second access devices from synchronization signals received from the first and second access devices, this estimation comprising:
measuring, from the received synchronization signals, a time deviation T between time boundaries of frames bearing the same number received from the terminal by the first and second access devices; and
determining, from the measured time deviation, a number N0 and an offset parameter such that:

T=N0·T0+offset

where T0 denotes the determined duration of the sequences of data symbols, the number N0 and the offset parameter being representative of the synchronization deviation between the first and second access devices; and the at least one number of symbols being determined furthermore based on the offset parameter determined by the terminal.
