| 摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to a mobile communications network, method, and base station which can be arranged to request and analyse measurement information from one or more infrastructure units, comprising one or more relay nodes and one or more mobile communication terminals. The base station can then set the forwarding rules in a relay node according to the measurement information reported so that the relay mode may forward any data received as soon as possible, or aggregate data over a period of time and only forward it once predetermined conditions have been met. The relay node may operate in a manner which is transparent to the communications terminals it receives data from, or alternately may operate in a manner which is non-transparent to the communications terminals it receives data from. The mobile communications network may comprise a plurality of relay nodes, one of which is designated by the network controller to be a gateway node through which all traffic is forwarded to the base station. Alternatively, data may be transmitted to the network controller by a relay node which is not the gateway node. The mobile communications system may operate in accordance with a 3GPP LTE standard. |
