METHOD FOR OPTIMISING TRANSMISSION RESOURCES BY INTER-CELLULAR LOOP IN A MOBILE CELLULAR RADIO-COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND CORRESPONDING LOCAL NETWORK AND ADAPTORS

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting data exchanged by two terminals in a cellular radiocommunication network, each of the terminals being respectively associated with a base station of the cellular network. The method includes: identifying a shortened transmission path between the base stations, the shortened transmission path defining a direct transmission path for the data between the base stations without transiting via transcoding equipment present in the cellular radiocommunication network; and transmitting at least a portion of the data via the shortened transmission path, which is also called an intercellular loop-back operation.
