Abstract: The present invention provides a data transfer method for use in a CDMA system operating in the TDD mode. A data signal is transmitted in the form of a data stream of data bursts of different users between a first station and a second station via a multiplicity of antennas, and a reference signal is transmitted in connection with the specific data burst. In a first step, a reference signal is transmitted from the second station to the first station. In a second step, a channel estimation is performed in the first station based on the reference signal that is received from the second station. In a third step, the first station transmits a data burst to the second station via the multiplicity of antennas, it being possible to modify the transmission signals of various antennas having various amplitude and phase factors in accordance with the channel estimation.
