Abstract:
1. A method for connection setup for mobile stations of a radio communication system having at least one base station, comprising: recurrently offering frequency channels for a random access in an upstream direction for the mobile stations; in the mobile station that requests a connection setup, measuring a reception power of a signal sent from the base station in a downstream direction; sending, from the base station to the mobile station, information about base station transmission power in the downstream direction; and in the mobile station, setting a mobile station transmission power, dependent on the measured reception power and the information about the base station transmission power, for sending an access radio block to the base station, wherein if the access radio block, sent to the base station, has not been successfully detected by the base station, a new access radio block is sent by the mobile station with increased power, and wherein the signal transmitted in the downstream direction is a pilot signal.
