摘要:
A method of transmitting information in a communications system. The method preferably includes the steps of establishing a communications link between a base station and a temporary node, attempting to maintain a second communication link between the base station and a wireless terminal and upon a determination that the second link cannot be established or satisfactorily maintained, transmitting information from the first base station to the temporary node so that the temporary node can retransmit the information to the wireless terminal, attempting to reestablish the second link and upon such establishment, discontinuing the transmission of subsequent information from the base station to the temporary node and directly transmitting the subsequent information to the wireless terminal from the base station. A system to carry out the foregoing steps is also provided.
