The present invention relates to estimation of the distance between stations that communicate in a communication system over a radio interface. In the system at least one of the stations transmits signal bursts in time slots in accordance with a timing structure and at least one station receives the signal bursts. The method comprises determination of a first timing of a signal burst received at the receiving station, the first timing being associated with the first component of the received signal burst that meets a predefined condition. A second timing of the received signal burst is also determined for use in adjustment of internal timing of the receiving station for receiving and/or transmitting further signal bursts from and/or to the transmitting station. A timing offset is also determined between the stations. The distance between the stations is estimated based on the timing offset and the first timing of the received signal burst.

La présente invention concerne une évaluation de la distance entre des stations qui communiquent dans un système de communication par le biais d'une interface radio. Dans le système, au moins une des stations émet des slaves de signaux à des intervalles de temps correspondant à une structure de synchronisation et au moins une station reçoit lesdites salves. Ce procédé consiste à déterminer une première synchronisation d'une salve de signal reçue à la station de réception, la première synchronisation étant liée au premier composant de la salve du signal reçue qui répond à une condition prédéfinie. Une seconde synchronisation de la salve de signal reçue est également déterminée pour être utilisée lors de l'ajustement de la synchronisation interne de la station de réception afin de recevoir d'autres salves de signal de la station d'émission et/ou de les transmettre vers cette dernière. Un décalage de synchronisation est également déterminé entre les stations. La distance entre celles-ci est évaluée à partir du décalage de synchronisation et de la première synchronisation de la salve de signal reçue.
