For example, initially only metropolitan areas are to be equipped with the third generation system, whereas rural areas continue to be supplied exclusively with systems based on the second generation mobile radio system. Accordingly, at least in this initial phase, there will be subscriber terminals that use both the second generation transmission method, for example GSM, and one or more third generation transmission methods, for example TDD (Time Division Duplex) and / or FDD mode (Frequency Division Duplex). support.
