Abstract
A method determines a routing for radio transmission between a first and a second radio station of a radio communication system, said system having a plurality of additional radio stations in addition to the first and the second radio stations. The routing passes through at least two of the additional radio stations, in such a way that information can be transmitted by radio between the first and the second radio stations via the routing. The system is provided with a radio communication device, which recognizes adjacent relationships between the radio stations of the radio communications systems. The radio communication device specifies a sub-group of the radio stations in the routing in response to a request for the determination of a routing between the first and the second radio stations and transmits respective radio stations identification information relating to one ore more radio stations in the sub-group of radio stations to the first and/or second radio station(s).

12. A method for determining a route for a radio transmission between a first radio station and a second radio station in a radio communications system having the first radio station, the second radio station, a plurality of potential carrier radio stations and a radio device, comprising:
-
sending a request to determine a route between the first and second radio stations;
using the adjacent positioning relationships at the radio device to identify at least one carrier radio station to route the radio transmission, the at least one carrier radio station being identified in response to the request to determine a route;
sending identification information from the radio device to the first radio station and/or the second radio station to identify the at least one carrier radio station; and
after the identification information has been sent, identifying at least one additional carrier radio station at the radio stations of the radio communications system; and
routing the radio transmission between the first radio station and the second radio station using the carrier radio stations identified by the radio device and the radio stations. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

19. The method in accordance with 17, wherein
the third radio station initializes the determination of a route between the third radio station and the fourth radio station and/or the fourth radio station initializes the determination of a route between the fourth radio station and the third radio station.
-
26. The method in accordance with 25, wherein
the third radio station initializes the determination of a route between the third radio station and the fourth radio station and/or the fourth radio station initializes the determination of a route between the fourth radio station and the third radio station.

28. A radio device for a radio communication system having a first radio station, a second radio station, and a plurality of potential carrier radio stations, comprising:
-
a memory to store adjacent positioning relationships between the radio stations of the radio communications system;
a unit to use the adjacent positioning relationships to identify at least one carrier radio station to route a radio transmission on a path between the first radio station and the second radio station, the at least one carrier radio station being identified in response to a request for routing; and
a transmitter to send identification information identifying the at least one carrier radio station, the identification information being transmitted to the first radio station and/or the second radio station so that after the identification information is sent, the radio stations will determine at least one additional carrier radio station to complete the path between the first radio station and the second radio station.
