Abstract

The invention relates to a method for selecting a signal, and to a cellular radio system comprising base stations and a vocoder encoding a signal, the vocoder being operationally connected to the base stations via transmission paths of different lengths. The base stations receive a signal encoded by the vocoder in the forward direction and transmit a signal to the vocoder in the reverse direction. The cellular radio system comprises selection means that are separate from the base stations and that are arranged to select at least one signal to be transmitted to the vocoder from the signals received by the base stations in the reverse direction. The selection means are arranged to distribute to the base stations the signal arriving from the vocoder in the forward direction.
