Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining connected transmissions within a first site of a communications network comprising the steps of: —retrieving (70) at least one transmission characteristic comprising a time parameter of a first number of transmissions over transmission links within at least the first site of the communications network, and determining (72) a second number of transmissions of the first number of transmissions that are connected to each other and form a two way transmission based on comparison of the transmission characteristic of the first number of transmissions.
Claims22
A method for determining transmissions that form two way transmissions with other transmissions of the first number of transmissions between respective user equipment nodes within a first site of a communications network comprising:
- retrieving at least one transmission characteristic comprising a time parameter for each of a first number of transmissions over transmission links within at least the first site of the communications network, and
- determining a second number of transmissions of the first number of transmissions that form two way transmissions with other transmissions of the first number of transmissions between respective user equipment nodes, wherein determining comprises comparing at least one transmission characteristic of each transmission to at least one transmission characteristic of other transmissions of the first number of transmissions.
A control unit in an electronic device connected to a memory, wherein the control unit is arranged to retrieve at least one transmission characteristic comprising a time parameter for each of a first number of transmissions over transmission links within at least a first site of a communications network, and to determine a second number of transmissions of the first number of transmissions that form two way transmissions with other transmissions of the first number of transmissions between respective user equipment nodes based on a comparison of at least one transmission characteristic of each transmission to at least one transmission characteristic of other transmissions of the first number of transmissions.
A method of operating a radio network, the method comprising:
- providing transmission characteristics for a plurality of transmissions from a site of the radio network to respective user equipment nodes, wherein each of the transmission characteristics for the plurality of transmissions includes a respective time parameter;
- and
- identifying first and second transmissions of the plurality of transmissions from the site supporting two way communication between respective first and second user equipment nodes based on the transmission characteristics including the respective time parameters for the plurality of transmissions.
