Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for setting up and/or adjusting backhaul link in maritime network. A method in a first radio node in a first ship comprises: obtaining a first position and moving information of the first ship; receiving a second position and moving information of a second ship from a second radio node in the second ship; determining whether to connect to the second radio node to form a maritime network, based on radio measurements between the first and second radio nodes, the first position and moving information and the second position and moving information.
Claims18
A method in a first radio node in a first ship, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first position and moving information of the first ship;
- receiving a second position and moving information of a second ship from a second radio node in the second ship;
- and
- determining whether to connect to the second radio node to form a maritime network, based on radio measurements between the first and second radio nodes, the first position and moving information and the second position and moving information, wherein the determining step comprises deciding to connect to the second radio node when the radio measurements meet a predetermined condition and the first position and moving information and the second position and moving information indicate that the radio measurements meet the predetermined condition for a predetermined time period.
A method in a second radio node in a second ship, the method comprising:
- obtaining a second position and moving information of the second ship;
- sending the second position and moving information to a first radio node in a first ship;
- and
- wherein the second position and moving information is used for determining whether to connect the first radio node to the second radio node to form a maritime network, and
- wherein the determining comprises deciding to connect to the second radio node when the radio measurements meet a predetermined condition and the first position and moving information and the second position and moving information indicate that the radio measurements meet the predetermined condition for a predetermined time period.
A first radio node, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, said memory containing instructions executable by said processor, whereby said first radio node is operative to:
- obtain a first position and moving information of the first ship;
- receive a second position and moving information of a second ship from a second radio node in the second ship;
- determine whether to connect to the second radio node to form a maritime network, based on radio measurements between the first and second radio nodes, the first position and moving information and the second position and moving information, wherein the determination is based on a decision to connect to the second radio node when the radio measurements meet a predetermined condition and the first position and moving information and the second position and moving information indicate that the radio measurements meet the predetermined condition for a predetermined time period.
