The present invention relates to a method of reducing occurrence of masked nodes in a communication network comprising at least three communication nodes operating in the same frequency band and wherein a first node and a second node are within a radio communication range of each other, a third node being within the radio communication range of the second node, but outside the range of the first node. First control information is exchanged between the first node and the second node for establishing a data communication link between them. Then the second node detects intention of the third node to establish a data communication link and prevents the third node from establishing the data communication link.
A method of reducing occurrence of masked nodes in a communication network comprising at least a first node (A), a second node (B) and a third node (E), the nodes operating in the same frequency band and wherein the first node (A) and the second node (B) are within the radio communication range of each other, the method comprising:
A node (B) for a wireless communication network comprising a second node (A) and a third node (E), the nodes being arranged to operate in the same frequency band and wherein the node (B) and the second node (A) are within a radio communication range of each other, the node (B) comprising:
