1. A method in a main node for communication with a destination node over long distances, the method comprising:

  • synchronizing use of at least one communications resource with an auxiliary node,generating a main signal and an auxiliary signal from an information quantity,transmitting the main signal to the destination node by the at least one synchronized communications resource,transmitting the auxiliary signal to the auxiliary node by the at least one synchronized communications resource;

    determining a network geometry and a network propagation condition of a network comprising the main node, the destination node, and the auxiliary node; and

    positioning the auxiliary node based on said determined network geometry and propagation conditions to optimize transmission conditions for communication between the main node and the destination node, wherein determining a network geometry and a network propagation condition of a network further comprises constructing a propagation condition forecast based on changes in the network geometry and a network propagation condition of the network, and wherein positioning the auxiliary node comprises optimizing transmission conditions for communication between the main node and the destination node based on said propagation condition forecast.
