1. A communication system, comprising:
- at least one base station;
at least one further station, wherein at least one of the base station and at least one of the further stations have a coordination changeover switch for changing over a coordination functionality between participating stations;
a quality-of-service detection apparatus for detecting a quality of service in the communication system; and
an analysis apparatus for analyzing the detected quality of service in the communication system, wherein the coordination changeover switch is controlled based on the analysis performed, and at least some of the further stations have an external transmission interface for implementing data transmission with an external communication system, the external communication system and the communication system being designed to use a common transmission medium.

Abstract
A communication system and associated method are provided, wherein a quality of service is detected in the communication system, coordination reorganization is performed in order to reorganize coordination functionalities for available stations in the communication system, the previous two steps are repeated for various coordination organizations in the communication system, the various qualities of service detected in the various coordination organizations are analyzed, and a coordination organization is selected on the basis of this analysis, whereupon communication is affected with an external communication system which uses the same transmission medium as the communication system.

3. A method for improving a quality of service in a communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a quality of service in a communication system; performing coordination reorganization to reorganize coordination functionalities for available stations in the communication system; repeating the steps of detecting and performing for various coordination organizations in the communication system; analyzing various qualities of service detected in the various coordination organizations; and selecting a coordination organization based on the step of analyzing, whereupon communication is effected with an external communication system which uses a same transmission medium as the communication system. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)
