Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. A wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1, wherein:
the communication control circuitry is arranged to perform a sign-on procedure to seek to establish a communication link with the further antenna system, during which the communication control circuitry is arranged to issue via the antenna system a connection setup signal for receipt by the further antenna system within an identified timing window;
the wireless communication system further comprises:
location specifying circuitry to identify a current location of the wireless communication system;
distance computation circuitry to obtain location information specifying a location of the further antenna system and to determine a separation distance between the antenna system and the further antenna system; and

the communication control circuitry is arranged to issue the connection setup signal at a default time unless the separation distance exceeds a setup threshold distance that indicates that use of the default time would prevent the connection setup signal being received within the identified timing window, in which event the communication control circuitry is arranged to apply a timing advance in order to issue the connection setup signal prior to the default time so as to cause the connection setup signal to be received by the further antenna system within the identified timing window.
