APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NOMADIC RELAY NODE DEPLOYMENT

摘要

The present invention provides a control apparatus 100 for relay node configuration and positioning in a nomadic relay network. The control apparatus 100 is configured to receive an indication that a relay node 200 arrives at a predetermined area 300 and relay node information of the arriving relay node 200. When receiving the indication, it determines a configuration and/or position for the arriving relay node 200 in the predetermined area 300 according to the received relay node information and based on coverage and/or connectivity requirements. Finally, it informs the arriving relay node 200 of the determined configuration and/or position.
