Claim 13:
14. 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 comprising a processor, the terminal configured to:
transmit, via 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 terminal further comprising a processor, the terminal configured to:
receive from the first access device a message comprising at least one 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 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, introduce 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 channel based on a setpoint comprised in the message.
