Claim 0:
1. A method for managing a transmission of sequences of data symbols of determined duration by a terminal having a dual connectivity established with a first access device for accessing a telecommunications network and with a second access device for accessing a telecommunications network, the terminal configured to transmit, during the dual connectivity, sequences of data symbols on a first uplink channel towards the first access device and on a second uplink channel towards the second access device during disjoint time intervals, the method comprising:
obtaining an estimate of a deviation between propagation delays between the terminal and the first access device and between the terminal and the second access device; and
configuring the terminal so that it introduces at least one guard interval during each transmission of at least one sequence of data symbols on the first uplink channel towards the first access device, during which no data symbol is transmitted by the terminal on the first uplink channel, the at least one guard interval being introduced by the terminal at the start of a first sequence of data symbols and/or at the end of a last sequence of data symbols transmitted during the transmission on the first uplink channel, and occupying a number of symbols determined based on the estimate of the deviation between the propagation delays.
