When a new connection is set up between a mobile station and a cellular telecommunications network, the starting frame of the new connection is selected using a simple rule so that the starting times of the interleaving periods of all the presently active connections between the mobile station and the cellular network are periodically aligned, thereby substantially simplifying the handover process. In addition, the length of the interleaving period can be set such that the periodic alignment is more frequent.
