Abstract
In a radio communication system formed of a central radio station and subscriber radio stations each having a radio transmission range, the subscriber radio stations are at least partially mobile and each radio station is disposed within the radio transmission range of at least one adjacent subscriber radio station. User data is sent from radio station to radio station within the range of a subscriber radio station in order to transfer user data. User data can be transferred directly or can be transferred via one or several other radio stations from any particular first subscriber radio station to any particular second subscriber radio station in the radio communication system. The central radio station transmits information via the adjacent subscriber radio stations of each subscriber radio station within at least one part of the radio communication system to the plurality of subscriber-sided radio stations within the at least one part of the radio communication system. As a result, signaling costs in ad hoc networks can be reduced.
