<p>A telecommunications system is described, for transmitting data between any one of a number of radio transceiving nodes (A, B, C and D) and a concentration point (CP) around which they are arranged. The data is transmitted in a series of hops (e.g. h1, h2, h3...h6), each hop terminating in an intermediate node (not shown) which then re-transmits the data to produce the next hop. In order to produce an even distribution of radio interference over the geographical area encompassed by the nodes and hence provide the optimum capacity for the system, the length of the hops closer to the concentration point is less than the length of the hop further away from the concentration point (CP), the lengths of the hops in any particular one of the transmission paths preferably decreasing successively in the direction towards the concentration point (CP). In this way, the radio power dissipated in each hop is reduced immediately adjacent the concentration point (CP) to compensate for the inevitable concentration there of the converging transmission path.</p> |
