A Doppler compensation method is used for radio transmission between a mobile body possibly but not exclusively a train and some base station, both mobile body and base station comprise respectively a transceiver connected to an antenna for the radio transmission. The method comprises the step of determining the direction of motion of the mobile body with respect to the active base station i.e. the base station to which a radio transmission link is just built. The method is then followed by the step to apply a constant Doppler compensation corresponding to the cancellation of the Doppler effect for a mobile body moving in the same direction at predefined limiting speed of motion (vlimit) at which a quality threshold is reached with the used radio transmission technology in the case without a Doppler compensation.
