Zusammenfassung:A method (600) for preparing an interfrequency handover of a certain communication connection from a first frequency to a second frequency, comprising the following steps of: periodically intermitting (603) the transmission/receipt of data on the first frequency for certain transmission gaps, where the number of transmission gaps is at least one during each transmission period and a certain sequence of transmission periods (420, 520) is used, an d performing (607) measurements on the second frequency during the transmission gaps on the first frequency. The method is characterized in that the step of intermitting the transmission/receipt of data comprises a substep of intermitting (604, 606) the transmission/receipt of data within at least one transmission period for a certain transmission gap (311, 411) having a first duration and for a certain second transmission gap (312, 412) having a second duration, which second duration is different from the first duration. A mobi le station (700), a network element (710) and a network control element (720) are also presented.
