Claim 4:
5. A method for transmitting sequences of data symbols by a terminal having a dual connectivity established with a first device for accessing a telecommunications network and with a second device for accessing a telecommunications network, the terminal being configured to transmit, via the dual connectivity, sequences of data symbols to the first access device on a first uplink channel and to the second access device on a second uplink channel during disjoint time intervals, the method implemented by the terminal and comprising:
receiving from the first access device a message comprising at least a number of symbols of at least one guard interval to be introduced during each transmission of sequences of data symbols by the terminal on the first uplink channel towards the first access device, the at least one number of symbols having been determined based on 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
during each transmission of sequences of data symbols by the terminal on the first uplink channel, introducing the at least one guard interval 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 based on a setpoint comprised in the message.
