In a telecommunication system, where data is transported as cells (C1 through C10) and that comprises a wired connection network system and an at least partly wireless connected wireless access system, short addressing is used within the wireless access system, so that there will be space left free in the header fields of the cells for transferring data applying to cell for the internal control within the wireless access system. E.g. in case of the macro-diversity, an identifier of the terminal device (MT1, MT2), a sequence number of the cell and an indicator expressing the quality of the incoming cell are added by the base stations (BTS1, BTS2, BTS3) to the ATM cells formed by them. The base station controller (BSC) operating as a switch combines the cells routed over different paths by storing them to a memory (MEM, MEM1, MEM2), where the cells corresponding each sequence number are arranged in sequence indicated by their quality indicator. Per each sequence number, only one cell representing the best quality is read and a cell stream formed by the cells being read will be forwarded to the network system.
